Perhaps the issue of any specific religion’s treatment of women and women’s rights should not delay us too much here

What would be the main and or supporting ideas to above statement?


The questions might rather inspire us to consider if religions just need to be updated. This will raise issues like those of Question #3 above. Again, for conservative reader of the Bible or the Koran (see I Cor 14:34; Sura 4:34) or the Laws of Manu, this might be challenging. The closing question about how one decides which bits of a religion to "update" is challenging indeed. Specific examples might ask if a religion must update its view of women's roles, but not update its views of sexual morality or consumerism or miracles.
