directly from
the Enlightenment. The founders comprised Deists, Christians, agnostics, probably atheists. They had support from Jews, partly because the new republic would allow all citizens to participate regardless of religion.
Judeo-Christian values did help, but only after the separation of church and state. Christianity summoned the Renaissance, and thus the Enlightenment.
1 Timothy 2:11–15, “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve."
The oldest elected body in the world has nothing to do with Christianity - parliament of Iceland was formed when Iceland was pagan. Idea of Democracy much predates Christianity and perhaps has been implemented in spite of Church efforts.

You know you'd find quite a number of left leaning Pat.net posters who would be very ok with this.

I'm pretty sure the context is in assembly at church, from the pulpit. Not in public.

Lol. You're so right.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "
Right there in the Declaration of Independence. There is no doubt where the idea of Democracy, where individual determination comes from. It comes not from secular society, but rather directly from faith in God.
