Where in the Constitution does it say we derive our rights from God? I thought that was the declaration of Independence.

And besides, The Constitution only prohibits CONGRESS from ESTABLISHING a religion.
Judge Roy Moore is not "Congress" nor is he establishing a religion. If anything, it would be more accurate to say Judge Moore's rights are being violated. He is being prohibited from the free exercise of his religion.
Of course the argument can be made that Judge Moore is perfectly free to believe The Ten Commandments......for now.

Where in the Constitution does it say we derive our rights from God? I thought that was the declaration of Independence.The Declaration of Independence says this about that:
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--
The full text is here. The DoI declares our independence from Britain not our rights. It gives the reasons for it and the above is one of them.
