A:

I do not believe that any Jewish or Christian religious document contributed substantially to democratic ideals. Democratic ideas originated in ancient Greece long before the development of Judeo-Christian values. And when democracy came late to the Christian world, The Bible was used to justify deny rights on the basis of race and colour. Indeed, a consistent theme throughout the Bible is obedience to kings and emperors, as well as subservience of slaves to the masters.

Another View:

Some will point directly to the Constitution of the United States with its Amendments in the Bill of Rights as God given (Providence) as it was created by a group of biblically educated men. Others would even say the great Magna Carta was also 'inspired' by Judeo-Christian beliefs of basic freedoms. In any event, the question calls for some opinion which seems to vary with the individual.
