This is very true. One of the biggest problems with established religions is most of them carry ideology from the past from a time when that may have been normal. Today the world is different and these religions need to modernize their views.

There was a time when people thought the world was flat, now we know it is round. It's no different for ridiculous ideas and misogyny. Once people thought it was acceptable for a woman to be the property of her father or husband, today that is not acceptable.
