Sure religion acknowledges it's errors, but only after great cultural or scientific pressure.

Thus the Catholic church has come around on the question of evolution and the Mormons have decided to admit blacks into their ranks and prohibit bigamy.

Notice that the changes are forced by science or secular morals.

Nope, as I said religion never acknowledges it's errors. When facing evolution, they will never say they were wrong, instead they will make up some lie (like the creation museum) and at best will say that it needed to be "interpreted" differently, and if even that fails, they will claim the devil modified their books, but they will not accept that their religion had made a mistake.

The bible wasn't wrong. We just didn't interpret it correctly. It's always the people's fault. Never the deity and his holy book.

Which is, in itself, an intermediate step to the eventual destination religion gets to when it starts to come around on ideas that were once heresy; in time, they will claim to have invented the idea themselves.
