The entire concept of our nation is that our rights derive from God and therefore cannot be abridged by a government of men. If He does not exist, from whence do our rights come? I certainly would not like to rely on the pagan pantheons as the guarantors of our freedom.

Rights are merely abstractions that do not exist unless vigorously defended by those who hold them. This is why parity between government and civil society is so important.

I certainly would not like to rely on Divine Intervention. Byzantium's Church of St. Sophia ring any bells?
