American freedoms and Rights are based squarely and solidly on the expressly stated premise that Rights come from God. That is what makes America exceptional among the nations. It's also why atheists are universally distrusted and rightly so! We have seen way too much of the Despotism and Death that Atheist governance inevitably brings to a nation.
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, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
