We don't use creeds at all. Neither as stepping stones or stumbling blocks. Reason can, and should, be applied to beliefs. I can take or leave tradition. Just because we have always done it, is not a valid reason to continue doing it. (Neither is doing it because it is new.) Here, multiple viewpoints can help clarify goals and impacts. Scripture should allow G-d room to speak symbolically, with room to apply instruction and teaching to ourselves. (I have real problems applying G-d's instructions to others, it creates a huge mess of bad feeling, and I won't go near the restriction of liberty.) I'll shut up now. People have tendencies. Not all religion is opposed to science, or social progress.
