We did rebel against the divine right of kings. But our founding fathers did not rebel agaisnt every cultural and moral value of their society. They didn't overturn marriage (or the family), not the understanding of what marraige was meant to be.

Slavery was another issue. Most of the founding fathers recognized it as an evil institution but couldn't eliminate it right away due to the influence of those who owned slaves. Slavery, while an ancient institution, had been largely eliminated from Christian societies a few centuries after Christianity was established. When European countries founded overseas colonies, they brought back slavery but never in their own homeland and eventually they outlawed it everywhere.
