God. However, if we do not believe in the Christian myths about God, creation and souls, what does it mean that all people are 'equal'? Evolution is based on difference, not on equality.

'Created equal' should therefore be translated into 'evolved differently'. — Yuval Noah Harari

All that stuff just causes its own counterreactions. Watch your own body and mind, and you'll see this for yourself. — Brad Warner
