Ambedkar rejected any religion that sanctioned caste inequities

Evidence

But the world owes much to rebels who would dare to argue in the face of the pontiff and insist that he is not infallible. I do not care for the credit which every progressive society must give to its rebels. I shall be satisfied if I make the Hindus realise that they are the sick men of India, and that their sickness is causing danger to the health and happiness of other Indians. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 754 (#expands, via linked claim)
