Prophecy:
I was talking to everybody.
People used to beat up their kids, and husbands had the right to trteat their wives as they wanted, rape or hit. It's not that long from the days when homosexuality was treated as mental ilness. The attitudes can be changed it the legistlation and the law enforcement address the issue, it won't go over night tho.
I can't name a country without religion, but there has been atheistic sects and cults already from the ancient times (like in Greece) and not all religions worship the same fundamental codes by every practitioner or even have any truely supernatural beliefs.
In Finland or in Japan, folks are secularized so that religion has not much to do with political stuff and how laws are made. So it is up to people wanting to change things where you live or not. Personally, I have always found it funny that Jesus preached about accepting the sinners like prostitutes, lepers, beggars etc. and no doubt he would have been the friend of gay people too, and then the christians condemn them. I read from anthropology book that most likely the part in the Book which condemns homosexual practices refers to babylonian religious practices, priests fucking eachother in the altar to worship and ask for fertility from the gods.
