American can not exist without a belief in a creator, because it's the creator who gives inalienable rights. Even as an Atheist you must recognize this.

With all due respect, that doesn't make sense--I must recognize that a creator I don't think exist gives inalienable rights?

It is ignorant of atheists to pretend this isn't a Christian nation, but it's equally ignorant of believers to think atheists aren't "real" Americans.

I'm just pointing out what the DOI states. The Idea Of America rest solely on the concept that man does not derive his rights from other men, but from a creator. My question to you is as an American Atheist, how and where do you derive your rights, since you do not recognize a creator?

This is the whole "experiment" America was formed around. It's ONE solid concept: Man does not, nor can he give the right of LIFE, LIBERTY, and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
