Hmm.. A slight clarification: If the concept of God is an invention of humanity then any concept attributed to God is also an invention of humanity.

Does not follow. If you have a bunch of things in a bucket and someone takes away the bucket. It does not follow that all those things will automatically fall into the same new bucket.
Consider the question: "Would there be a God if there were no Men?"
First of all your logic is faulty because man could invent a false conception of a true God and still attribute true concepts to that false god. And second of all there are no "if, then" statements in the Declaration of Independence.
The princple that rights flow from God is both historical and present day American principle.
Now, if you think that needs changing, you can look forward to me fighting you every inch of the way.
