Because they had to justify before God the reasons for rebelling against a power which was generally understood theologically as being ordained by God. They had to overcome the presumption that the powers that be are ordained of God. Hence the references to God and the inalienable rights of the individual.

The DOI was a very unique document in history. It remains so to this day. It stands as a declaration of the paradigm shift from the divine right of Kings to the divine rights of the individual.

They would be teaching this in school then. It doesn’t have the word “God” in that.
