Not much. That's the cognitive dissonance. Because as you'll recall, the same traditions hold that burning bulls and witches and small, disobedient children is also a good idea.
There is wisdom in most religious traditions. And also toxic insanity, like the Bible giving the thumbs up to selling one's daughters into slavery, or marrying someone you've raped in warfare. That's because religious belief doesn't come from a magic infallible being, but from people.
A fact we all kind of understand, but some would prefer we ignore.
The lie comes in when people want to insist we are all taking instruction from an imaginary being, instead of making things up ourselves, which is what we're actually doing. That lets people like Mike Huckabee and Scott Walker grab the evil "tripe" as you call it from religion and insist that it's just as valid as "love they neighbor."
Once you start pretending rules and laws and philosophy come from magic and are therefore immutable or infallible, you not only let in the crazies, but you give like minded people a convenient rationale for holding that, as they have done, black people were intended to be slaves, or women subservient to their husbands. It's all "the word of God," after all.
So we don't want people to "really" believe in taking instruction from imaginary beings. We want them to cherry pick the few universal notions of human decency -- like the ones you mention -- and ignore the vile, ignorant filth made up by the same people who made up the rest, that inevitably accompanies it, and give lip service to a belief we really don't want anyone in charge to literally have.
That's why we would consider someone who said they listened to voice of Xenu or Horus in making decisions "crazy," but agree to this half-hearted lie regarding the god more prevalent in our culture.
We don't really believe it, but we want people to pretend.
