By = by God Almighty by whom and in whom and through whom we live and breathe and have our being. Immortal soul life is imputed at birth.
The Moral Law is a "proof" based on a concrete dualistic approach. Kant showed that a constant and unvariable ehtical law must rule 1-1 (virtue and happiness - evil and misery etc). This concept is used in order to forward the ideas of the existence of "God" and of the immortality of the soul of the humans: if we accept that whithin our existence there is really a Moral Law, then we have to accept that the existence of the creator of this Moral Law is a fact. That specific Creator cannot be the Human or the society but solely a supernatural existence.
However, according to the Moral Law the humans of virtue must be happy whilst the evil humans remain in misery, and since this situatiion does not happen we are forced to promote the concept of the immortal soul, of the existence of "God" and of an afterdeath life in which everybody will be judged.
Of course Kant presented this whole idea as a request of the practical cause and not as a logical proof of the existence of "God" and of the "immortality of the soul".
Now regarding equality, hmmmm...

Equality is a shallow myth in case you don't keep up standing for it; law is an infrastucture which we always have to adjust for our sake; women are already on a pedestal, together with the men I reckon.
