Intelligent debate requires the ability to make fine distinctions, not lump everything together in one big mish-mash.

There is a huge difference between having differences in gender roles in religious ritual, for example, and having huge differences in everyday life.

Who cares if people believe in a trinity or a thousand gods or only one, and have religious rituals accordingly? None of society's business.

What matter is how those beliefs get translated in social life. Does it mean women cannot inherit as much as men, cannot interact with men outside their family,  are not supposed to go out of the house unless absolutely necessary and all covered up, etc.? That should matter to society.
