No, NATO does not exist to "promote universal values". It no longer exists to any good purpose whatever.
But it used to exist to defend is member-states, specifically against a threat which no longer exists. So why does NATO?
Neither Christianity nor secular liberalism is unique in claiming universality. So, for example, does Islam.
