Inherent Human Dignity:
The idea that all humans are created equal and possess inherent rights is strongly rooted in Christian teachings about the value of each individual.

Right to Revolt Against Tyranny:
Biblical stories and interpretations were used to justify rebellion against unjust authority when necessary, which resonated with the colonists' desire to break away from British rule.

The First Great Awakening:
This religious revival movement in the American colonies further emphasized concepts like individual liberty and personal responsibility, which contributed to the revolutionary spirit.

Six Biblical Principles Embodied in the Declaration of Independence

The values and principles reflected in the U.S. Declaration of Independence resonate with the biblical ideas of innate human dignity, natural human rights, government by consent, self-governance, seeking redress, and a revolutionary spirit. (essay by Robert M. Still)

The Christian Origin of the Declaration of Independence

After nearly a century of editing American history to exclude the Christian influences upon the birth of the United States, secularists appear upon the brink of successfully eclipsing the truth concerning America’s Christian origin. The truth, however, is that America would not exist as a...

Professing Faith: The religious foundations that bolstered the Declaration of Independence

The Founding Fathers didn’t want a national religion, but a good many believed as Benjamin Franklin, that “God governs the affairs of men.”

Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God, and the American Declaration of Independence - Constituting America

These “expressions of the American mind” were common formulations of natural rights that influenced the Declaration of Independence. The four mentions of God in the document demonstrate their understanding of the divine, but it also showed that God was the author of good government according to...

[whutTHEYsay]

The Bible and Christianity significantly influenced the writing of the Declaration of Independence by providing the foundational concepts of natural rights, equality among humans, the idea of a "Creator" as the source of these rights, and the notion of government based on the consent of the governed, which are all reflected in the document's language and core principles; essentially, the Founding Fathers drew upon biblical ideas to justify their revolutionary actions against British rule by appealing to a higher power and inherent human dignity.

Have you done any research Saint Ding what nature's God meant to key thinkers of the founding generation.

STEWART: So nature's God is one - a deity that operates entirely through laws - natural laws - that are explicable. And we have to approach this god through the study of nature and also evidence and experience. So it's a dramatically different kind of deity from that you find in most revealed religions.​

General Washington took command of the Continental Army in June 1775. Unlike in the British Army, a religious oath was not required. However, Washington believed religion was key to both a disciplined army and maintaining morale, so he arranged for chaplains to be provided to American units.15 These men represented many denominations, including Congregationalist, Presbyterian, Anglican, German Reformed, Lutheran, French Reformed, Baptist, Roman Catholic, and Universalist.16

Washington encouraged his soldiers to attend worship services. In a general order, he:

required and expects, of all Officers, and Soldiers, not engaged on actual duty, a punctual attendance on divine Service, to implore the blessings of heaven upon the means used for our safety and defence.17

 

[ding]

Washington often emphasized that religious liberty was not just a blessing, but a right.25 He wrote to the United Baptist Churches of Virginia in May of 1789,

...no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution—For you, doubtless, remember that I have often expressed my sentiment, that every man, conducting himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience.26

 

[ding]

Even as he left office in 1796, Washington reminded the people of the importance of religion and morality within society, writing that not even education could replace religion:

Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.31

Religious Freedom in the Ranks

As commander in chief of the Continental Army, George Washington encouraged religious toleration and promoted liberty of conscience as a right.

www.mountvernon.org

As president, Washington continued to pronounce against sectarianism as a threat to national union and personal rights. He assured the Newport, Rhode Island, Hebrew Congregation in 1790: “All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights...the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens.”​

it means the Evolution of Rational Theism beyond the European Plague of Christianity’s Sectarian Divisiveness and Intolerance against the Freedom of Conscience came to America through the divine wisdom of Freemason George Washington on his watch as commander and chief the Continental Army.

The saying that America was founded as a Christian nation is an insult to the rainbow that is all of humanity.

Reuben Etting of Baltimore enlisted the moment he heard about the Battle of Lexington and headed north to Massachusetts. He was taken prisoner by the British who, when they discovered he was Jewish, gave him only pork, which he refused to eat. He was able to survive on scraps of permitted food from fellow prisoners. Weakened by such treatment, he died shortly after his release. A cousin bearing the same name, born in 1762, also fought in the war and was appointed as a United States marshal in 1801 by President Thomas Jefferson.​

Freedom of conscience is not a Christian idea or principal..I repeat …. “freedom of conscience is not a Christian idea or principal”. It evolved into being practically applied with the conflict during the American revolutionary war.

Saint Ding can’t but help himself to completely celebrate and honor the main point of this thread. Evolution beyond andin in spite of Christianity.

One of his millions of posts he gives us this:

The demand for freedom of conscience—the other element of religious freedom—also inspired figures like the commander of the Green Mountain Boys, Ethan Allen, to reject traditional Christianity entirely, in favor of Deism. The Franco-American Alliance in 1778, bringing thousands of French troops onto American soil, likely also exposed American soldiers to advanced forms of freethinking and anticlericalism, although the evidence is sketchy. At the least, the alliance dramatically modified the "No King, No Popery" rhetoric of many leading Patriots, and prompted General Washington to outlaw anti-Catholic Guy Fawkes Day celebrations in the Continental Army. This rejection of anti-Catholic antipathy and the new commitment to freedom of conscience for American Catholics was surely one of the more remarkable reversals of the war.​

Why does Saint Ding do this? it’s because truth cannot be denied and his falsehoods in favor of intolerance and self righteous bigotry need to be exposed and rejected in the name of our beloved “freedom of conscience“
