Religious texts tend not to contain a lot of the bigoted mores usually ascribed to them--be it the Torah, the Bible, the Quran, what have you. Instead, a lot of this tends to originate from non-scriptual sources, such as the opinions of religious experts over the centuries interpreting these texts and imposing their own beliefs as ironclad scriptual law. (There's a particular irony when this happens in Christianity, as one of the main themes of Jesus' teaching is that strictly following religious law doesn't inherently make you a good person; the main villains of the New Testament are holier-than-thou religious types.)
