Common meaning:

The ability to determine your own action without external control or interference by others.

Hidden meaning of the Equity religion: 

Only becomes possible when everyone becomes an Equity believer.

Discussion:

According to the beliefs of Equity, only when everyone becomes a believer will freedom be possible. At that point, we will not be free to determine our own individual actions, but minority groups will be free from oppression.

At this point, the Equityists say, no minoritized group can be free inside the oppressive Western system. This is why, as a society, we need to implement laws to ensure that minoritized groups are not oppressed. 

You might think that implementing laws to ensure compliance to a particular religious belief is a bad thing, but the Equityists say that is because you are still a prisoner of the current Western culture of domination. The laws will help convert all the people in the society to the faith of Equity and then all oppressed groups will be given freedom. 

Freedom to be forced to believe a particular way is not freedom at all.
