Very nice. Two problems, however:

1. That's not the preamble to the Constitution.

2. I'm somehow missing the reference to ID.

Otherwise, you're doing fine.

On point 1) You are correct, it was the declaration of independence:

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

On point 2, you are entitled to miss the blantantly obvious. It is, after all, your God given right to deny the existance of God. Heck you could even beleive the sky is red and that pigs can fly. You could even go so far as to say that beleiving the sky is blue is too religious, and that the government should be carefule not comment on the color of the sky.

On the planet Earth, in the United States however, the existance of a Creator is "self evident".
