Deut. 32.8 said:
On the contrary, more than ever in the past the religious community, or at least much of it, is working honestly to come to grips with such things as racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and male chauvinism. Progress is halting and uneven, but the dialogue is real. That dialogue is a far cry from: "Screw the Midianite children. They got what they deserved."
Whatever religion is, it's social, and I suspect that there will be increasing pressure from within the ranks of the religious to serve a socially enlightened role which honors human worth rather than declaring it deserving of nothing, and which honors the trinity of tzedek, kedusha, hesed - justice, holiness, loving kindness - as inseperable aspects of meaningful spirituality.
