Briefly, the Manhattan Declaration is a line in the sand, drawn by a diverse collection of conservative religious leaders, stating that we the undersigned will not under any circumstances bend our knee to Caesar in those areas where God and our conscience have clearly spoken otherwise.

Especially in regard to abortion, gay marriage, and religious liberty, if our secular government puts us to the test, commanding us, for example, to pay the Pelosi Abortion Premium or to endorse gay marriage, we will not comply, regardless of the consequences.

In short, we have declared a war of passive but resolute resistance against the militant secularist regime presently in power. In the tradition of Augustine, an unjust law is no law at all. We are reaffirming in this act our commitment to the superior claim of the natural law over the paper statutes of mere mortals, the very premise that led our founders to declare our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to be inalienable gifts of our Creator. Nothing else will explain our Constitution, and nothing else will sustain our Republic. This is for the game.
