You missed the point. Our rights are given to us by God; therefore, nobody can take those rights away. If one does not believe in God, where do these rights come from and who can then take them away?

How can soldiers protect our God given rights if they don't believe in God?

Since our rights are given to us by God, then they come from God whether any particular individual recognizes that or not. Those rights don't cease coming from God if even only God himself is aware of it.

I was an atheist for the better part of my life. I didn't even begin to question my lack of belief until my wife was pregnant with our first child. I spent my entire military career as an atheist, and there is nothing I could have done differently had I been saved at that time.
