....We hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
If we as a nation perceived life to be created by God and in His image it would be hard to imagine how we would kill 45 million babies, or for that matter, create a political and social system, as well as codifying into law a society vested in death from birth to old age.
But my interest is in truth, and that will serve anyone well whether in science, phylosophy, politics, or law.
I do not imply you need to change your religious beliefs, other than be honest with yourself regarding truth.
The truth is that not everyone shares the creation doctrines of your particular religious beliefs, then or now. Whatever religous differences they had were put aside when it came time to discuss the affairs of the Republic and the politics of the day.
