There is a difference between what morality a religion ( a ) explicitly instructs its common adherents to practice, ( b ) endorses in the mythos of its gods or heroes, and ( c ) inspires as a natural outgrowth of the irrationality imbedded in its epistemology. All three of the Abrahamic religions contain morally objectionable tenets in the sense of ( b ) and ( c ), but equating them on ( a ) is ignorant. For example, from most heinous to most benign in the sense of ( b ) I would have to rank them: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam; in the sense of ( a ), just the opposite.
