The difference is that we get to choose our role in society. Not so much in religion.

Why?
You seriously have to ask? No, I guess you would.
The core principle of morality dictates judgment of action - not of inherent properties. Something you do not have control over is something you should not be judged for. Discrimination based on race or gender goes against this principle and that is why it is unjust, demeaning and disrespectful.
