I did not say anything about the Declaration of Independence explicitly identifying the United States as a Christian nation. I said that in Western civilization belief that in human equality arose out of a Judeo-Christian culture and intellectual tradition. That is indisputable.
Except that's total nonsense. When did Christians ever threat other people as equals? In most of Christian denominations women still can't be clergy because they are considered inferior. Not to mention persecution of Jews trough the centuries

In fact because Jews were persecuted by Christians into New World it created this aspiration to create place where people are not persecuted because of their religion.
Also there is this word "egalitarianism" that conservative Christians throw around, especially those enamored with Ayn Rand, like it's this "idiotic idea where everybody is equal when that is impossible".
