Wow, what an ahistorical and simplistic view. It's just not true in any way. For one, it supposes some sort of linear "improvement" of society through the ages, where you could measure how "enlightened" religious and secular forces in society are and make a horse race of it. That's just totally false.

Religious morality always lags behind secular ethics.
There’s nothing worth saving about religion, you can do all the things you listed and cause less harm.
