Our nation was founded on fundamental Judeo-Christian principles based on the Holy Bible. The party affirms freedom of religion, and rejects efforts of courts and secular activists who seek to remove and deny such a rich heritage from our public lives."

No the acceptable term would be basic human decency or basic human morality. These same morals are also shared by athiests by the way. The TexGOP didn't mean it as YOU said it. They meant that our country was formed based on the christian bible. They are very clearly saying we are a religious country. Not secular as we should be and were formed as. Our leading founding fathers had very harsh things to say about religion and it having any role in our government. THEY would take great offense to the TexGOP statement.
