You have got to be kidding me.
Women as objects of man has existed for just about as long as mankind has existed. In fact, there are probably more than a few zoologists that would argue male ownership of woman originated in the animal kingdom, before man even existed.
Ditto for prejudice against blacks -- but don't limit it to blacks. Prejudice against basically every ethnic group but your own was exceptionally prevalent long before organized religion existed. Again, it could be argued that this has roots in the animal kingdom.
You're blaming religion for prejudices and viewpoints that existed literally thousands and thousands of years before the birth of organized religion, and have continued to exist independently of religion. Hell, this stuff existed before the birth of organized society. Male ownership of woman is a defining trait of dozens of African tribes to this very day. They're not exactly Judeo-Christian.
