Aside from that, in order to evolve, deities would need to be able to reproduce biologically. That alone would remove them from the realm of the supernatural.
Collective beliefs cause oppression and self oppression, if you live by primordial instinct you are truly free as an individual. This is getting away from gods but I see that the secularists tend to bind themselves up in so many laws and so called "rights".
As a creature acting upon primordial instinct, you are free to abandon the internet, medicine, and any belief in gods. Those are constructs of higher thought, a trait which most humans have, and a trait that allows us to thrive.
Some lines of thought add rights, such as humanism, run contrary to the primordial theme of "me, me, me", while others, such as religion, are a method of control devised by rulers of the past.
Besides, it's a construct of our society that females would be treated as inferiors. Some tribes in Africa have blanket equality for the genders, proof that primordial instincts do not always result in a bigoted division of genders, and therefore evidence that feminism is not the oppression of primordial instincts: it may well be their expression.
