So you are saying then that Jefferson was wrong? How about George Washington?

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity,religion and morality are indispensable supports. It is impossible torightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
- George Washington

How about Benjamin Franklin?
"The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth:'that God governs in the affairs of men.' And if a sparrow cannot fall tothe ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can risewithout His aid."
Benjamin Franklin

How about John Adams?

"Let them revere nothing but religion, morality and liberty."
John Admas

What do you know about this country that these men who helped create it didn't know?

The statesmen of the Declaration of Independence appealed to the Laws of Nature and Nature's God over laws passed by parliament.

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, . . . "

No law inconsistent with Natural and God's Laws is legitimate.
