Not as far actually. And funny how in this instance you seem to be distancing the result from the influence you so readily attribute otherwise
You're right, we still have:
Stoning for heresy and adultery
Crucifixion
Witch burning
Slavery
Polygamy and ownership of women
Flat Earth Theory
No standard of verification
Totalitarian theocracies
Low literacy rate
Faith healers as primary caregivers
I can't think of any ways we've changed from the Bible's examples of humanity.
But then again any change would have to be attributed to God by default, wouldn't it?
