    Entropy not linguistics determines that backwards does not always equal forwards.

    It helps with the historical narrative that entropy makes reversing nigh on impossible.

    Now the assumption is that religion is more moral then no religion.

    I would contend that literacy has a greater impact on human rights then any particular religion.

    200 years ago as England tipped the 50% literacy rate the age of Enlightenment was stirring in the Western world.

    Christainty had an 1800 year head start to get rid of slavery, imbue equal rights to woman and a host of other rights. It wasn't religion of any sort it was widespread literacy that improved humanity. The printing press, books, newspapers, radio, TV, Internet, google, Facebook and Twitter... Literacy and communication has tamed the wild beasts that are us humans.

    Thousands of years of slavery, child abuse , inequality, animal abuse, torture and murder. Not stopped by religion of any form, instead held at bay by the ability to read and write about our fellow man.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
