Rationalists of the enlightenment argued against slavery for violating natural rights. The same natural rights the Church philosophised just prior to the writing of the Magna Carta.
Quoting: newtome Many of those rationalists believed in natural rights, while rejecting Christianity. The two are not inseparable. Yes, the church cooked up some original ideas a thousand years after Christ, and those influenced the Magna Carta over 800 years ago. America and Australia took parts of what worked from earlier countries, but they were never required to adhere to scripture or Christianity as a basis. There's nothing stopping me from believing in human rights while believing Christianity is based on a myth. Then don't claim rationalists came up with new concepts or ideals when all they did was accept ideas from the Church which took them hundreds of years probably because they refused to accept anything the Church thought was a good idea. That's false. They did present new ideas, as well as draw from ancient philosophers. The Magna Carta was long before the abolition. As the church lost power, our freedoms increased. Not wanting to believe in God or divinity is another matter. It is no different to Einstein refuting the big bang theory because of its acceptance by the Church.
Quoting: newtome Huh? How are those things comparable? Not with regards to slavery
