we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal
That common belief that Slavery need to be ended in the United States of America, and they supported that belief by their writings and their reading of our founding documents: The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. For example: We hold these truths to be self evident that ALL MEN (WOMEN included) ARE CREATED EQUAL, AND ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, THAT AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
Yes.
The central concept of John Locke's political philosophy is that there is a natural law that creates a set of rights and duties that apply to all people, regardless of whatever man-made laws or religious codes may be imposed. Locke's perception of basic natural rights included the rights to life, liberty and property, and conversely, the basic natural duties were the duties not to kill, enslave, or steal - in other words, not to take away anyone else's natural rights. As a natural extension of this basic concept, Locke believed that men had given up a certain portion of their rights to create governments to provide for protection of their basic rights and enable them to lead a more secure existence, so that governments owed their existence to the people. If a government failed in its duties to the people, then the people were entitled to overthrow the government. This was directly contrary to the prevailing theory that God had expressly created certain people as monarchs and the rest of the people to be his subjects, so that to oppose one's monarch was to oppose God's will. To understand Locke's influence on the American Revolution, read the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, which famously states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,"

The technical term for the concept of a belief in one god is the word, monotheism. Those that hold truly to this belief hold that the existence of one god is exclusive and is the antithesis of the concepts of polytheism and pantheism, which hold exponentially more liberal views of the existence of other deities.
None. Similarities only seem to exist to those who are intolerant of others who hold a religious belief.
There is no importance to worship unless you have a particular spiritual belief. It would then depend on how strongly you hold those beliefs.

hold or express opinions that are at variance with those previously, commonly, or officially expressed.
All the same rights as a US citizen, except he/she cannot vote or hold public office. If he/she is in the US illegally, the application of those rights can vary somewhat.
Great belief is a good way to reword it I guess. Profound conviction is a belief or a thought that hold hold very dear to them.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
John Locke said natural rights were Life, Liberty, and Property. When writing the Declaration of Independence, the founding fathers omitted Property and replaced it with "the Pursuit of happiness", because they feared calling property a natural right, as that could be taken as the right to hold slaves as property.
It is not a requirement that a Quaker hold or not hold any particular belief.
The star on the side of a barn is a hexmark. It is meant to ward off evil magic and witches/warlocks who work with evil forces. There are those who hold a strong belief in the matters and symbols. Whether of not you believe, there are those who do.
