Whilst I agree that religious freedoms are often created by humanists,
secularists and fringe spiritualists/deists, I don't think it is fair to say that
no Christians have been instrumental in the formulation of modern
religious freedom.
There have been progressive Christians since Thomas Aquinas opened up
dogma to the scrutiny of the intellect.

Very true, in that people from all walks of life are involved in all types of endeavours, including campaigning for freedom. I merely meant to say it is wrong for Christian apologists to attempt to bolster their position by claiming that it was the Christian Church which is most responsible for religious freedom in society.
