Religions would have people believe one size fits all. Secular morality changes as new science enters the mainstream and opinions change (perhaps as a result of scientific discoveries). Secular morality has the goal of wanting to get better. Religion cannot change but the world around Theists has changed since their chosen texts were written so they have to make excuses for their texts. Both the Bible and the Quran have lots on the subject of slavery but people are in denial about those verses because they want maintain their belief whilst at the same time trying to be good citizens of the Earth. It's clear people don't want to keep others as slaves even though their chosen religious books allow them.
EDIT:
Whenever I see somebody who is of an African ethnicity who is homophobic it really bothers me. It bothers me because they were treated that way until only very recently, and in some places still are. It makes me wonder if they've forgotten the struggles of their ancestors, and the hardships they endured.
