The DOI is NOT the Constitution. The DOI is not the governing body of the USA. It is a nice 'declaration', but it has no force of law. Protestors make declarations all the time, but they are not laws.
The article you cite, indeed the entire Constitution, makes absolutely no mention of atheists or pagans. I only cited the Constitution of the United States. What article do you pretend that I cited?
When one assumes office under our Constituion, one pledges to uphold it over all other faith beliefs. We are a Republic of laws. Faith beliefs do not trump laws.
The Constitution makes no mention of Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Wiccams, Native American beliefs or pixies. What 'lesson' do you intend to derive from this? That your God is favored?
"I only cited the Constitution of the United States. What article do you pretend that I cited?"
OK, here's an exact quote from your earlier post:
"There is not a single mention in the Constitution about any god or about Christ. Art VI says atheists, pagans, etc. are equal because there "shall be no religious test."
Can you cite an oath of office in which "one pledges to uphold it [the Constitution] over all other faith beliefs."
I believe the oath actually says one will "uphold the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic," or something close to that. No mention of other "faiths," let alone other religions. The Founders would have scoffed at the idea that officeholders were supposed to give up their religion.
Yes, we are a republic of laws. So tell me, where are *your* rights derived?
