I think your missing the point. Laws written and enforced by every society have their roots based on religious values. Each nation and culture has their own sets of laws to accommodate the beliefs of the majority of its citizens. Whether they be Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddist, Hindu etc. Every religion has their belief structure. It's meant to give hope. It's meant to paint a moral picture in order to solve some of their individual societal dilemmas. I have read and studied different religious books and teachings, not extensively by any means, but enough to get the gist. In my study, I have yet to read anywhere in any religious book where the devaluation of women is taught. Quite the contrary actually. In the ones I've studied, women are exalted and cherished. The role of woman, wife, and mother are considered holy for the most part and it's sinful and unforgivable for a husband or father to abuse his wife or daughter or sister.
As far as LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance goes, no it's not acceptable in any faith as far as I know. But speaking as a happily married gay man, (22 years) that has raised a straight daughter and is raising a straight son, I can say that there alot of us in the gay and lesbian community that find this whole LGBTQ+ ideology reprehensible and I truly believe that gender identity and gender dysphoria is a psychological issue and should be treated as such. At least up until the young person has the capacity and ability to make an adult and informed decision for themselves. I fear that the whole LGBTQ+ ideology and the medical and educational community should be held accountable for destroying the lives of young children whose bodies and psyches have been prematurely and permanently destroyed. I fear that this whole movement is creating a permanently open door to the perverted appetites of pedophiles all in the disguise of tolerance and social acceptance. I digress.
No religion is perfect. No laws are either. Laws aren't written or meant to provide hope or answers to life's mysteries. Laws are meant to enforce justice and create order.
Religion on the other hand is meant to provide hope, to provide some kind of respect for the world through an ancient teaching or through a series of stories. Religion was never meant to cause harm. It was those that twisted and changed those teachings over hundreds of years for their benefit that caused all the religious dysfunction and brutality. It wasn't god that caused it. It was mankind. Always has been mankind!
