The one place we entirely accept racism and sexism is in religion. If you are religious, you are obviously going to be inclined a bit more to accepting external authority to tell you what your ethics should be. That is bad from the start.

What I would be curious about, would be the morality and ethics for deists. Those who believe in the divine, but don't think churches have any more clue about morals than your average person in a place of unquestionable authority.
