Can't agree with you, as religion, almost by default, doesn't promote human rights or egalitarianism.
"Almost by default" - your evidence for this is where? Don't like the idea of Muslim women being agents of progress? Shame because it's true

Karen Armstrong, Christopher Hütchens, many others have documented how religions have repressed women & equal rights for millennia.

My research background & teaching is focused on intersections of identity & sociology of religion. May want to rethink where you're headed.

Your response here is to a thread about Muslim women. Ideally you might think about why that has led to this reaction from you.

Ever read the history of most world religions? It's really easy to find, & it's all of them. Islam, Judaism, Christianity.

Ever read the history of science? It's really easy to find: eugenics; discrimination; war & more. You know: not automatic human rights.

Never claimed science was perfect. It's clearly not. But it sure has a better track record track record in the last 50-75 years.
