Do you think that religion makes people more approving or less approving?

I know that to be religious one has to disapprove of certain practices that they may have accepted before. But I think that in some ways people should become less judgmental and more understanding when they are religious. Jesus was very kind to the Samaritan women at the well, even though she had many different husbands and was living with a guy. He also defended the adultress and said “Let he who is without sin, throw the first stone.” How do you think religion should make people act?
