"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. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, .... " Well, if American's rights are what is laid out in the Bill of Rights and the various interpretations of law (right to a lawyer, right to remain silent, etc.) it's a big leap to say they come from God, rather that from the people that created the laws. Its a big leap the Founding Fathers took all right. Its a philosophical difference of view. The people who created the Constitution and the laws did so to secure those rights, they didn't create them.
