Exactly.
The few good morals you can find in the bible, love your neighbor as yourself, do not murder (that one in particular atheists obey more than religious followers as a whole) etc. are all old news to us in todays society. There is nothing new that the bible can teach us that mankind doesn't already know and no more good than man doesn't already practice.
On the opposite end there are TONS of teachings in the bible that poison our society because it is written for a primitive culture and people who lived 2000 years ago. It's all irrelevant.
Homosexuality is only illegal in intolerant countries. Slowly but surely gay rights are being made into laws which pisses fundie Christians right off...remind me again, aren't anger and judging both sins??
Your theory, Chipan, that homophobia is a term invented by homosexuals means that in return religious persecution can be seen as just a farce invented by Christians to convince us that they are being hated...so basically society doesn't need to take it seriously.
