History has witnessed numerous happy and ugly instances in which religion is involved either as victim or perpetrator, vanguished or victor in connection to the principle of inequalities. This paper seeks to explore and ascertain ways in which religion has either promoted inequalities or discouraged the same. The bottom line is religion pays double standards in either ameliorating inequalities of discouraging them altogether. Guided by some specific religious rituals and practices in Zimbabwe the paper intends to investigate and expose how religion is hypocritical and at the same time the voice of the voiceless in confirming the dignity of the marginalized. Hence the paper vehemently maintains that religion is a double edged sword in so far as the vice of inequalities is concerned. The Zimbabwean case study helps to make a bold statement and provides a way forward.
