"I assume this refers to the inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, which are enumerated in the Declaration of Independence not the Constitution."

See what happens when we "ass u me"? I also refer to the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10 of the Constitution). When in the Declaration it states that all men are endowed with inalienable rights by our Creator, it goes on to state that "among them are"...

...it does not state that those rights listed in the Declaration are the only rights we are given by God. Nor does it imply this. Nor should you infer this.

Ok, I'm 100% positive this refers to the Declaration of Independence, not our Constitution.

Prove to me that Government support of Christianity is an unalienable right.
