You don't think our forefathers had the basic belief in God? God gives us freewill, so then I would suspect that freedom of religion could be based on that concept. I think most laws dealing with humans come from the bible, like no stealing, no murder, don't commit adultery, etc, however you will not find laws such as speed limits, car seat laws, tax law, etc.
The Code of Hammurabi made provisions for all of those things, also, and it predates the first written Old Testament. The origin of our laws is not purely Judeo-Christian.


If only I could saith, so should I.
