Don’t stretch the point beyond credibility. Liberty can have its “blessings” all by itself...

Why?

Do you see a difference between the use of "blessings" and the capitalized "Blessings?" Didn't writers of the time capitalize words that referred to God, like they did in the Declaration with Creator, and the unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and Happiness, and in the Constitution with Blessings and Liberty?

They capitalized everything—and also stuck commas in where they didn’t belong, creating problems for us even today. Don’t look to the copyediting skills of the founders to figure out whether we should have a secular government or a theocracy.
