While I agree that religions are linked with ethics and morals, I'm still unsure if they are "supposed to be" just about that. Moral superiority is based in social schemes that change with time, so any religion that has any kind of identity would be at least a bit immoral at some point.
That has yet to be shown and this far up the time line, I do not think we can say that.
The point to note here is that Christianity and Islam are misogynistic and homophobic religions at present showing that they are immoral religions with unjust tenets.
Were they immoral in their beginning? I don't know but they certainly are today.
I do know that they were immoral when they helped usher in the Dark Ages of freedom of thought and their Inquisition was the crowning jewel to their immorality.
