God has nothing to do with this.
It has everything to do with God.
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.
Those words are the difference, "their Creator".
If not God, than who?
Man?
A collection of democratically elected men?
Aliens?
Those words are the single most genius words that freed mankind from the bondage of other men.
Without God, everything is relative.
Sure He does.
If there is no god,
then the State gets to be god.
