That makes no sense.
Religion is about oppression, forcing people into a specific structure with a heirarcy setting requirements. And it's about power and growth. You cannot grow a religion by giving more freedoms, only by suppressing them and getting internal agreement. Suppress the rights of women and get the men to go along with it, since it is to their advantage. Suppress the rights of the next group and the next, getting internal support for this.
This rationalization of "since you were born this way, you get these rewards/punishments" is based on ignorance. And the more freedom people get, the more that such a lies is exposed for what it is. The growing number of secularlists in Egypt is a good example. The head is trying to maintain a theocracy with bits of freedom, but not enough to undermine the religious requirements, while the secularlists want it all gotten rid of. They want true freedom, which is that religion can exist, but not as a power, only as an option for those who want it, with no authority.
One day, people will look back at this time and shake their head in wonder the same way they do when they see old photos of "Whites" over one entrance and "Coloreds" over another, or photos of women trying to get the vote. Or pictures of children in forced labor.
No one is born with special rights. Talent is one thing, rights is another. A child raised as a Muslim gets no more reward at the end than one born as a Catholic, despite that both are brainwashed into believing otherwise. And one is no more special than the other by right of birth.
You statement makes no sense at all.
