That's a pretty broad generalisation/stereotype. Straight off the top of my head I can think of religious organisations that are making changes to things such as female priests, or their approach to homosexuals or contraception. Religion doesn't necessarily follow the text of the bible to the very letter, and it is often changing as necessary as the civilisation around it changes.
