IMHO, the nation is made up of its citizens far more than its government

So I have some secular obligation to serve my fellow citizens?

Care to explain the basis of that obligation?

I generally don’t look at deeper obligations from a secular viewpoint. I think that being endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights creates concomitant obligations on the part of the society which enjoys them to protect and defend those rights.
