No, the concepts of individual liberty came from the Magna Carta.
ROFL
You might actually take a peek at the Magna Carta some day.
{1. In the first place we have granted to God, and by this our present charter confirmed for us and our heirs forever that the English Church shall be free,}
Standard Disclaimer: Bigotry blinds, even those with an agenda.
If you think God is the reason they wrote that charter, you're more blind than you could imagine.
Here is a distinction between us, I've actually read the document. It is a highly religious document that references rights as being granted by God on dozens of occasions.
A majority of Democrats -- 52 percent -- say they seldom or never go to church, according to Gallup data published this week, CNSNews.com reports. Twenty percent of Democrats said they went to church nearly weekly or monthly, while 27 percent said they went every week.
As for Republicans, 38 percent said they seldom or never went, while 21 percent said they went nearly weekly or monthly and 40 percent said they went every week. According to the data, Democrats are less religious than the typical American and Republicans are more religious, Gallup says. A related study shows that self-professed conservatives now outnumber self-professed liberals in the United States, 42 percent to 21 percent.

so if you figure out the percentages there is virtually no difference between the percentage of dems and repubs that do not go to church.
Closer to god? I dunno.

Most didn't bother to look any deeper. They were too busy attacking and comdemning to actually read into it further. I just showed the stats. I didn't say one was better than the other. I just expressed my feelings on getting closer to God. I think the country would be so much better off. But that's how i feel.
I got closer to god. After 46 years of voting GOP I will never again cast my ballot for the party that says they believe in the bible yet hates the hard working middle class.

That's kind of why I am the way I am today. I wasn't old enough to vote for Bush the first time, but for his second term I voted him back in. I was very conservative, very religious. I defended bush relentlessly.
I started to slowly see the people around me though, the people who shared my views. I slowly realized that these people were ugly in character. They preached some high and mighty shit, but where always so vindictive and childish and petty... and they loved war. Boy they fucking loved war. Towards 2006 I really started to doubt why I stood by these people. I lost faith in the war, I started to drift left in my social views... and I voted Democrat for the first time during the senate elections. My second vote ever. I just steadily changed personality since then and got more and more liberal, wanting to see social change, more social equality. Drifted away from my anti-gay stance, drifted away from my pro-war stance, drifted away from my religion. All thanks to the ugly natured people around me. It was the political religious that turned me away from god and a conservative mindset.
I gotta say though, dropping my religion was a very hard thing to do, but it was also one of the biggest contributors to the stability of my mental state. It's a hard thing to be raised warned of hell, thinking you're always going to go to hell UNLESS YOU DO THIS AND THIS AND THIS. Shit got old.
It is funny that you include liberty and God in the same sentence.
The concepts of individual liberty come from the Christian religion.
