No.
Religion causes division.
We will become united when religion withers away.

Your term chauvinism is simply faith with negative connotations. Thus, we can translate your question into neutral language, "Will we ever have a truly free and equal society while religious faith exists?"
Properly translated, the answer is clearly yes. A free and equal society follows the First Amendment model in which the government refrains from establishing a state religion and allows free exercise. Free exercise of religion without faith (or in your terms, chauvinism) would be meaningless because believers must act on ideas for which we only have partial evidence.

No, but don't worry, if religious chauvinism doesn't exist you won't have a truly free and equal society either.
There has never been a society where all people were truly free and equal. There is always a hierarchy because that's what people do.

We'll never have a truly free and equal society while religious anything exists.
Get with the times, religion equals strife.

nope...not going to be truly free or equal until the King returns to establish one kingdom. And in His kingdom, we won't see war, pain, death, grief, anxiety, poverty, hunger, disease...I could keep going on.
Will man ever be able to create a free and equal society on his own. nope. Just look at history. Don't see it. And can't be blamed on religion (christian or not), because the great social expiriments that outlawed religion were even worse...remember Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, the Warsaw Pact... yes...google is a great way to learn how "enlightened" these societies were. Truly "free and equal" weren't they?

IMPure religions arrive defiled, and the get worse-end.
Pure religion arrives undefiled, and remains unspotted.
IMPure religions: Law based; like paint colors: dark base
Pure religion: Grace based; like sunlight colors: light base
IMPure religions: have both partiality & hypocrisy
Pure religion: has no respect of persons = equality
Miss-understanding; willing ignorance
Understanding; awareness; grace glory
2/3 = 0.666 to infinity of nothing: law glory
3/3 = 1.000 to eternity of everything: grace glory
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

It can only be free and equal for the people who want to be free and equal.
You can't force freedom down anyone's throat no matter how well intentioned.
