The retreating religions and traditions

Humans have made considerable progress in science, technology and also in positive & just human freedom. Religions and traditions have been and are continuously retreating. There were unjust inhuman traditions and humans very justly renounced to get their due freedom. I believe that many positive traditions have also been renounced. Such traditions may differ from region to region and community to community but were harmless and charming. These traditions provided base of human configuration and without which humans are becoming more commercial and materialistic.

Traditions may be good or not. When there was/is a reaction, traditions did/do not stand on their actual desirable position but retreated much back loosing ground to materialism. Pure scientific approach in every field and aspect of life brings restlessness, hastiness and discontentment because it is entirely based on material gains and loses. Concept of competition devoid of any moral base causes dissatisfaction and also dejection.

Had religions been solid, realistic, natural footings they would definitely have resisted this reaction tendency. They were also oppressive and aggressive so they also retreated justly or unjustly. Christian clerics enjoyed undue aggressive powers and did not relinquish willingly but were forced to do so. Now they are loosing their just position on some matters such as homosexuality etc., but some of their groups are still denying natural and just right of marrying for their clerics (males and females). Hindus have been practicing caste system and much more which may not be applicable on humanistic or natural grounds. Their religion also includes many good teachings and spirituality but in many cases reaction caused total renunciation. Muslim religious laws i.e., Death sentence for converters from Islam to any other religion and adulterers, beating to death for unmarried sex couples, no music, no co sex meetings of any sort, cutting of hands as theft punishment, forced prayers and allowing Muslims to attack and subjugate other nations are rarely practiced. Why they do not practice it, if they believe it? Are they hypocrites or not sincere believers? I know that Islam has in it many good teachings but questions mentioned are more need to be settled and answered. Similarly Jews, Buddhists and other religions have their specialties not conforming to human nature. I believe that all religions had/have many unnatural unjust beliefs so they have and or badly retreating.
