Your now very close to revealing the agenda behind this imo Phil.This is not so much about equality but more about destroying the historic "Christian" tradition of the British way of life.Turning the country into yet another completely secular Eurocountry,just like they have already done to most other European countries.Destroy the past (culture,religion,tradition etc.)and get people to rely on the state for their future.A classic left wing ploy.The people who pull the strings in this country hate Britishness and all it ever stood for.Hence idiots apoligising for slavery centuries before any of us were born etc.A cursory glsnce at the history of any communist regime will reveal these type of tactics in pretty much every case.
Cameron probably doesnt care much one way or the other,but Clegg probably has him over a barrell,and is offering a deal on something which Cameron does care about.So it must be something which might advance his own career.
