Check out the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The Founding Fathers of this great nation believed that the people's rights derived from God and were not "created" by man.

It would be crazy to think that they would create a society where rights derived by God would be so easily manipulated into justifying acts against Him.

I know it's hard to conceive of, but the Constitution contains exactly one reference to deity - the the "Lord" in the date.

Try a word search on the text here. Cant' find anything else ? I thought not.

The Founders had no intention of creating a theocracy where Mrs. Grundy could impose her religious views on others - regardless of anyone's ideas about God.

No one is talking about a Theocracy. That is "black helicopter" talk by the Libs and Libertarians. They are worried that the "Religious Right" will take away everything from them that gets them off.

Are you saying that this Nation and its Laws are not founded on the belief in God and the rights that flow from Him?

...the the "Lord" in the date.

Yeah. It's a legal document.
The founders were no dummies.
They could have left it out.
But they left it in.
Doing so was a tacit acknowledgement that ultimately,
we are under a higher jurisdiction
from whence flow all of our unalienable rights,
the source of true Law.
As the American patriots cried in battle:
"We have no king but Jesus!"
