You're the one defending a religion which subjugates women, persecutes gays won't allow Jews to live anywhere, disdains democracy and tramples over the right to free speech so you may want to think also about the plank in your own eye
This is where I think you are missing the point. Nobody is 'defending' anything.
What people are doing is asking you for evidence to back up your opinions, they are offering alternative viewpoints as to religion as a whole, they are offering different viewpoints as to society as a whole. That is not a defence of anything, it is showing a willingness to look at the situation from a different standpoints.
It is more complex than simply agree/disagree. If you expand on specific aspects, give a reasoned argument other than the one book you have quoted then maybe, just maybe you may find that there are aspects that people agree with you. Or at least, understand your way of thinking. It has all been very vague from your side, in my personal opinion.
