I will quote some more of the Virginia Declaration of Rights since you brought it up. And while you did bring it up, (with your nonsensical bias attached) with the clear intention to obfuscate what the words of the Declaration of Independence actually say, I will show the words you purposely left out.
Here is some more of what Mason wrote from the very same document you quoted.
That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity toward each other.
As the unbiased expert that you are, surely you read the entire document, after all you humbly implied your superiority by humbly telling us "now that you know the larger picture" as any good humble (honest and unbiased, lol) teacher would do.
Your mega bias is now exposed for all to see and it reveals why you favor modern Public Schools. These schools are run by the far left which shares the same revisionist zeal to indoctrinate your world view into other people's children.
For the record, here is the same part repeated in the actual Virgina State Constitution as it exists today mentioning our Creator, and I quote:

I know what Mason wrote. Congratulations, you avoided the trap I admittedly set. Due to your clear bias it was likely you would not like a document that appeared so "godless" being taught. But now that you bothered to read the whole thing you obviously found the reference to Christianity and therefore don't have a problem with it.
You avoided being exposed as a biased hypocrite, but remain simply proven heavily biased.

Hmmm, that would be because, as I told you, it was integrated into the Virginia Constitution.

Yes, I know, the simple facts like 1+1=2 aren't religious enough. Can't just teach the facts. Gotta get some god in there or it's biased against religion.
