Endowed by our Creator nobody with certain inalienable rights...
Modern tyrants, whether atheist or religious have turned truth upon its head because it stood in their way.
The Founding Fathers were Atheists and Deists (who are just a shade away from the former). The word 'Creater' could mean many things. Deism, for instance, takes this view that 'God' is disconnected from Man.
Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814
If we did a good act merely from love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? ...Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than the love of God.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Law, June 13, 1814
My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest. The artificial structures they have built on the purest of all moral systems, for the purpose of deriving from it pence and power, revolts those who think for themselves, and who read in that system only what is really there.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Mrs. Samuel H. Smith, August, 6, 1816
