Do atheists fake egalitarianism?

[Ben Davis]

I've got no clue what Heywood may have been driving at.

The point of the game was to do your best Heywood impersonation for the lulz. I fail as a gamesmaster...

I wonder, this second more extreme definition for eagle vision or whatever it's called: it sounds to me pretty much like socialism/communism? I'm no expert on these things though. What would be the difference?

The first definition involves intervening in the existing range of social environments to drive equal opportunities however some see those environments as inherently unfair thus designed to drive inequality rather than equality. Consequently some people hold the position that it's easier to achieve equal opportunities if we change society and strive for greater uniformity of circumstance; thus equal opportunity occurs as an emergent property of social constructs rather than as an intervention. This can manifest as many different types of political position, usually towards the far sides of the political spectrum: anti-capitalism, socialism, communism, some have even derived genocidal and eugenic ideals from the position. Simply put, the first definition regards coping with the status quo and allowing change to occur organically whilst the second uses social engineering to drive change.

I believe in removing prejudice as much as possible: not discriminating solely on the basis of anything not relevant to the matter at hand. So basically the logical extension of not being racist, sexist, homophobic etc. Would this be classed as (the first definition) of egalitarianism? Or does it suggest more than that? It's a bit vague.

The first definition. You may also hold some political views that border on the second but you seem too even-minded to me.
