People who think that people of different genders, ethnicities, and sexual orientations should be treated equally and have equal opportunities is what an egalitarian is. So, why don't you hold this position? I don't understand why you're accusing atheists of being fake egalitarians.

There is a difference between believing people of different genders, ethnicity, and sexual orientation are equal and merely acting as if they are equal.  People who truly believe different genders, ethnicity, and sexual orientations are equal are true egalitarians when they practice egalitarianism based on that belief.  People who merely act as if these things are all equivalent are faking it in my opinion.

Now I can see how a theists can be a true egalitarian.  And my question is can an atheist have any rational reason to believe these things are actually equivalent or are they simply just going through the motions?
