Religion and individual freedoms often collided. When the founders wrote the Constitution, it was during a rare period of secularism. Reading the Greeks and Romans was important. So was studying Enlightenment philosophers such as Voltaire, Hume and Rousseau. And that shaped the outlook of the Declaration of Independence and the focus on individual rights.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Do these libs ever look at what's in our founding documents? Or what the men who wrote them said?

"We have no government armed in power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."
—John Adams

"It is impossible for the man of pious reflection not to perceive in it [the Constitution] a finger of that Almighty hand which has been so frequently and signally extended to our relief in the critical stages of the revolution."
—James Madison

Quite the rare period of secularism they had there, eh Ms. Hunter?

You can even add JFK >>> “... the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.”
