Slavery died out in Christian Europe, it remained in Islamic countries, where it again eventually spread to Europe.
Christians were not in charge for 1700 years, and it took awhile to work through the logical implications of Christian doctrine in a largely pagan society. But, the freedoms all have their root in Christian doctrine. Name another society, secular or pagan, that brought about the same freedoms without Christian influence.
Perhaps the state took awhile to recognize homosexual marriage because the state only has an interest in heterosexual marriage that produces new citizens of the state.
