Do atheists fake egalitarianism?

[Esquilax]

Yeah, I think the problem here is the charged word "fake".  To fake something is to deceive.  I don't think most people who ostensibly identify as "egalitarians" are maintaining that they really do believe everyone is perfectly equal; rather, to be an egalitarian is to strive towards equality and try to improve society so as to destroy, rather than perpetuate, inequality.

Why is everyone continuing to make this point?

Heywood began the thread by listing qualities that he thought wouldn't be equal except via god-magic: race, gender, sexual orientation. Like most of Heywood's threads, this one purports to ask a question, while covertly smearing atheists in the process; the implication is that atheists are secretly racists, homophobes and sexists, acting out some pretension of being otherwise, while christians are true equal opportunity folks because magic! That's why there's this constant push on his part to us the term "fake egalitarian" over and over, why he's constantly trying to corner people into admitting that; like most threads Heywood makes, this one is blatantly about insulting others, and to the extent that it makes a point at all, that point is geared solely towards making those that disagree with him look bad.

But luckily for everyone, we don't need to play that game, and can in fact be more nuanced than Heywood can even comprehend. We can acknowledge that individual people aren't equal- which still isn't the point Heywood was making, and doesn't show up in his OP- while simultaneously acknowledging that their gender, race, and orientation does not contribute to that fact. So why is everyone acting like they can't see the shitty game this sophistic little babby is playing?
