Women in religion does nothing to address the point that religious texts that claim to have the perfect word of god cannot be amended.

Ignoring the text undermines the central claim of the religion.

I know some shamans and healers to this day kill others based on demon possession, or diagnose illnesses based on nothing. All religion is based on the same flawed premise, which can and does lead to harm.
