The mores of a society can be seriously immoral when looked it rationally using principles of compassion, optimization and equality.
We should keep in mind that this applies to our own societies too, and that their mores may also have elements that are rationally immoral. One need but consider where the term "witch hunt" comes from and how often those things still take place.
Sometimes religions contribute to the evil, sometimes they condemn it, sometimes they merely tolerate it in order to keep from losing adherents.
