Our nation's birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, proclaims our rights come from God. It is a beautiful document. But it is essentially a brilliant copy-and-paste job from Christian sources, including the Mecklenburg Declaration of 1775, the writings of William Blackstone, John Locke, and others. Endowed by Their Creator contrasts the godless French Revolution with the pro-God American War for Independence, showing the founders' vision that there would be no separation of God and government.
