Those who could read the Declaration of Independence would have known from their youth Who the Creator IS. From the New England Primer 1777 edition

Regardless of what they believed, the country was not founded on any specific God.

It was founded on God the Creator. Which, when you think of it, is a pretty generic term for the creative/sustaining Divinity of universal human history and culture, of philosophy and myth of all times — up to the "post-modern."

"Regardless of what they believed" ... LOLOL!

They all learned how to read from the same textbook which defines very specifically the Judeo/Christian God as "Creator" - and then in the Declaration of Independence they use the word "Creator" and you propose two centuries later that they meant something else.

You may qualify for appointment to the Federal bench by the Obama administration.
