It basically concedes the Gospel to the secular ideal, by arguing that Christians should not be persecuted for these beliefs.

I don't see that in the declaration at all. The text - unless I somehow missed something in two readings - makes no call upon the government to not persecute. Rather, while mentioning existing pressures on believers to sacrifice their beliefs, the point made is that these pressures will not be bowed to under any circumstances.

In Christ,
Michael
