Theistic morality neither progresses or changes.
If an ultimate morality could change it wouldn't be true would it.
We might call it progress when it's in effect a backward step. Only with hindsight can we appreciate that. To us we're the best we could be. We genuinely believe that.
This is the most moral time in human history as a result of religions being rejected.
Look at Iran and the middle east in general to see what happens when theistic morality is in charge, it was the same sad tale of overly oppressive punishments here when christianity ruled the roost.
You know this to be true.
I have no doubt that you yourself are a good moral man, but that is despite your religion not because of it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
