Again, how can you support this assertion? Are we just to believe you because you've demonstrated you are so reliable? What ways do you think are right?
Should women be subservient to their husbands?
Should white people consider themselves superior to other races?
Should homosexuals be ostracized and banned from society?
These are just some of the possible teachings that one might see in a Christian religion, depending on the type of church you go to. There are an array of others but all quite restrictive. So, are you saying you agree that people should be restricted in their thinking by religion? Is this why you left Christianity? Hypocrisy, again and again and again with you. Always hypocrisy.
