Here are some that will make sense off the top of my head. Notice they are laws of the land all the way back to the founders that parallel Christian beliefs.
Freedom from oppression.
Freedom to make your own choices.
The belief that all life has value, murder is wrong.
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).
