There are no homogenous countries. Skin color is just one of the many ways people get slotted into buckets.

Your country has men and women. It has gay and bi people. It has trans people. Young and old. It has blind people. It has amputees. It has atheists and religious people. It has mentally ill and chronically sick and abused kids and all sorts of other diverse conditions that have to be addressed with various accommodations.

You live in such a twisted "diverse" world-view that has pitted even men and women, young and old against each other. What a rotten culture.

Don't No-True-Scotsman and pontificate me what a homogenous and non-homegenous country is, I very well now what the difference is.

I've lived it, I've seen it, I've experienced it.

It's a symptom of a sick, atomized diverse society if it can be so easily fractured by using <0.1% fringe cases as tool.

Why do you believe skin color is the only possible thing “diverse” covers?

What benefits does your linguistic framework and redefinitions of commonly used terms offer? I'm not seeing it.

Looks like you're desperately looking for some seams from which to break fabric of cohesive society appart.

Homogenous societies do not need nor should they offer special affordances to either atheists or religious people. Only diverse societies that have imported bunch of incompatible religions that beef with each other and prevailing culture (often violently!) that need "special" accomodations and guard rails to prevent escalations of conflict.
