I think that we as a society should be beyond using religion as a moral framework.

As an "atheist", my moral code is defined by what maximizes everyone's joy and what minimizes everyone's suffering. This comes not from my worship of an elusive powerful entity, but from my knowledge of how the brain works (e.g. happiness makes one feel good, suffering does not) and my desire for the people around me to share my emotional state. In fact, the idea that one can only abstain from hurting others if and only if there is a divine power to punish them makes me worried for the people who claim to use their religion as their moral framework. Are you saying that you'd kill and assault people if you weren't being told not to by God? If so, then I guess I'm glad you believe in him because I don't want to see what would become of you if you didn't.

The biggest problem I have with religion as a moral framework is that it is often used to define actions that are otherwise morally neutral as morally wrong.

First example: masturbation. Why would God give me a penis and make it the most sensitive organ in my body if he didn't want me to utilize it for my own self-pleasure? Did he do it to tempt me? Is this divine ragebait? Anyway, I see no problem with someone masturbating in the privacy and comfort of their own home, so long as all parties involved consent. (Of course, this does not include God, because he isn't the one jerking them off.) Masturbation is an act that literally provides instant gratification without the use of any outside interference or synthetic chemicals, so if it maximizes joy (arousal in this case) and minimizes suffering, then I see it as a morally good act. Goon responsibly, I guess.

Second example: being gay. Nobody is being hurt (aside from homophobes being mildly inconvenienced) by two people of the same gender falling in love with each other. The Abrahamic religions want you to throw stones at people who are doing this completely harmless act. Gay-allied religious people will try to tell you that it is a mistranslation but that does not excuse the majority of other people who dissent to gay people. Gay people being allowed to love each other is a morally good because it maximizes joy (love) and minimizes suffering.

Third example: being trans. Why should God tell me what I can and can't do with my own body. Supposedly, he gave me autonomy over it when he created me. I should be allowed to take hormones and get surgeries and dress how I want. Gender transition is a morally good act to me because it minimizes suffering (gender dysphoria) and maximizes happiness.

Fourth example: modest fashion. The most prominent example of this is in Islam but I think it is also present in Christianity and Judaism, just to a lesser extent. It worries me that religious men think they are entitled to lust after a woman without her consent simply because of the clothes she is (not) wearing. What other reason would there be for the principle of dressing modestly? This kind of behavior is what most men use to justify the sexual assault of women, and it has been adopted by three of the world's most major religions. In fact, I'd say the need for women to dress modestly is maximizing their suffering (fear), as they can not wear what they want without fear of men unconsensually lusting after them and potentially assaulting them. It should be on men to maintain their respect for womens' boundaries and not on the women because of their fashion choices.
