But I can't say the same about the Quran. The sects of Islam that believe women are lesser, are the same sects that believe in Hadith books and sources other than the Quran.
Uggggggggg!
If the Koran were so perfect in it's instructions there would be no need for a supplemental book, nor would there be more than one sect. Just like with Jews, you would not have liberal Jews and conservative Jews. You would not have Obama voting Baptists and Trump voting conservative Baptists. You wouldn't have Tibet Buddhists and Chinese Buddhists and Japanese Shinto Buddhists.
If any religion in the world were a cure for humanity, then why are there so many, and so many with sub sects of the same umbrella labels?
BECAUSE humans stupidly think that their religion, their sect is the correct morality. Sunnis and Shiites think that, Baptists and Catholics and Mormons think that, Conservative Jews and Liberal Jews think that.
Me, I'd like all religious people to consider that our ability to be cruel or compassionate ISNT in the old mythology of antiquity, but in our GENES, IN OUR DNA.
Maybe it isn't the Hadiths, or the Koran, or the Bible or Torah or the Hindu Vedas......... MAYBE humans do good as individuals because they are good individuals. Maybe humans do bad as individuals because they are bad individuals? Maybe humans don't need holy books and only think they do?
What creates sects is that each group of believers seek dominance and leadership, you can see it with the rivalries that spark for centuries between the different sects; it's almost identical between religions like you said, but the problem is mainly humans: human beings are the main disaster.
If people just treated other humans as "brothers and sisters", and didn't seek power and dominance over each other, I think earth would look so different. This is about the human brain
