In Christian societies, the individual is not important, so that is why slavery was often acceptable (and many Christian apologists want it to come back) as is not allowing women to be educated, tolerance of other religions is not allowed, etc.
But there is no objective way for me to say that slavery is bad. I can only appeal to logic and humanistic appeals, which can easily be dismissed by a theistic mentality.
If you can appeal to logic, then you literally -are- saying that slavery is objectively bad. People might dismiss it, but people often dismiss facts. That doesn't change anything about those facts, it just tells you about that person.
