I hear that a lot from people who want me to believe the federal government operatates under the direct authority of their Creator.

The federal government is meant to operate under the direct authority of the sovereign citizens of the United States, who, of course, if they're wise and want to continue in liberty, are to operate under the laws of their Sovereign Creator.

That's what the founding paragraph of our free republic says, after all:

"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. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

I believe it operates under the direct authority of the States. Are you willing to let each man determine the wisdom of his own actions according to his own perceptions of his Creator, and His laws?

I've seen similar arguments used to tacitly equate heresy with treason.
