You are really stretching.

"By admitting it was on an egalitarian basis rather than on the principles of any religion...you confirm his (and my) point."

Whatever!! I refuted both of you directly and convincingly. Read this quote again.

"The United States Declaration of Independence included a kind of moral and legal egalitarianism.

Because "all men are created equal"

the state is under an obligation

to treat each person equally under the law."

en.wikipedia.org

The basis of this "kind of moral and legal egalitarianism" is clearly the "religious principal" that "Because "all men are created equal" the state is under an obligation to treat each person equally under the law."

You think that substantiates your position???
