Slavery was justified in large part for religious reasons.

    There's a bunch of torture, murder and human sacrifice that stemmed from religion too. Those are pretty bad IMO.

    You're not wrong, but it's bad form to say "slavery isn't worse than X"

    Why? Do you think slavery is worse than cannibalistic child rape and murder?
