Freedom from oppression.
Freedom to make your own choices.

Ownership/property rights and prosecution for theft.
Adultery as grounds for divorce.
Prosecution for slander/lying under oath.

Also notice though, they did not make it mandatory to be a part of the Christian religion (separation of church and state). Nor did they make laws saying you had to follow any one God. They also gave us freedom of speech (no matter how bad it could be, even against a God).
Being told that you're not allowed to get married because the way you were born feels a big oppressive if you ask me. Now, this is a bit off topic, and I'm not assuming that all Christians feel this way. But many obviously do, and are trying to use religion to justify their oppression.

And belief that adultery is grounds for divorce? Please, sneezing too loudly is fucking grounds for divorce in today's society.
