I see. You seem to interpret it as “are they moral as a whole”. I interpreted it as “do they have any good morals”. I don’t think either affirmation is contradictory.

That seems like quite a low bar. Basically the broken clock being right twice a day.
No relgious person goes around and says “never mind that jesus and god stuff, I’m just in it because of the “you shalt not kill””. It’s always about bundling in all the irrelevant crap. Those couple good stories about helping neighbours doesn’t offset that.
The point was “do religions have any good in them”, not “are religious texts still relevant”.
No, that was not the point. They point was “do Relgions have good morals” and the answere is clearly no.

Yeah, indeed. Was just explaining that it’s how I interpreted the comment you answered to initially, thus my response.
