"it's just there were not thousands of gods that informed the framers of the DOI and the Constitution There was only one..."

No Gods informed the framers of the Constitution. The Constitution is a secular document from the first word till the last. It is entirely neutral on religious beliefs.

America is multicultural and thus treats all people equally regardless of religious beliefs. The Treaty of Tripoli received UNANIMOUS consent "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion".

Therefore, if you make the claim that the Constitution was founded upon religious principles then you MUST exclude Christianity from that claim. It is as simple as that!

Some people never know when to quit digging when they are in a hole!

"What you have failed to do is to demonstrate why; using reason alone and starting with a naturalistic material godless universe, humans have any more dignity than other animals or dirt for that matter."

The value I place on people or dirt is entirely independent of whether I believe in Janus or Jesus or Jupiter. All creatures value their own life. We just happen to have more power than some and less than others. Cows hang out with cows. Geese hang out with geese. People hang out with people. One would get awfully lonely trying to converse with a goose day after day, year after year. Which is why I sometimes must discontinue our conversation. But I will talk with you again, later.
