beginning-
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,
end-
And for the support of this Declaration,
with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
our country's laws and policies are created through government, our rights are natural "self-evident" rights endowed by our Creator .. the Constitution was written to protect the individual from governement's inevitable infringement on those rights through it's laws and policies...we instituted a govenrment to secure our Constitutional rights and that government is supposed to be limited to and by the enumerated powers ...our country's laws and policies are only "religeously driven" to the extent that those creating laws and policies are "religeously guided"...whether or not they are religeously guided or driven or otherwise, they should not infringe on the rights endowed by our Creator and secured through our Constitution and protected by our government
