"There are no LAWS in the Constitution that come from any religious texts or that reference the superiority or the existence of any God(s)" The constitution is based on Theistic philosophical principals that were taken to be "self evident". Men have rights and governments have responsibilities to promote justice. That's a fact, and all the bluster you can muster won't change that. "The Constitution was NOT a religious document." I never claimed the constitution was a Theistic document in that it sets out Theism as it's explicit justification. The DOI clearly does state it's justifying principals, the constitution assumes them. “<<<If you want to examine a truly Atheistic Revolution based solely on reason then you need to look at the French Revolution>>>“ "If you don’t know the difference between secular and atheistic then argue with somebody who is as bewildered as you apparently are." That's very handy to avoid the question but again I am trying to speak to the underlying philosophical basis of the two revolutions and you don't want to go there. I can see why!
