And all of the Christian slave-owners, both before and after that (maybe you forgot that slavery was still widespread in America ... by Christian slave-owners ... for centuries after?) just don't matter?

Slavery was widespread in the entire world, not just America. It still exists in Africa and other areas today.
You just don't hear about it.
Slavery has been around probably as long as humanity has been around, on every continent. It was not considered evil or immoral or just plain wrong until the renaissance, and that new viewpoint was largely ignored because it was an accepted practice around the world.
Not good to judge history through a 21st century lens.
