re: When did the idea that we're all "created equally" become a widely held belief?

If you call yourself Christian, there is also this from Galatians:
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
That would've been about two thousand years ago.

"We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact. So don't frick with us.”

The OP question asks about a belief. They also use quotes to reference to an idea ("created equally"), which I think implies an allowance for some latitude in interpretation of that term.
All that said, I think this belief has become most widely held since the advent of Christianity, as JudgeHolden stated.
The recorded teachings of Jesus posit that we are all loved equally in the eyes of God - so it follows that we are all equal in the eyes of God. For believers, you can't get more equal than that.
