Atheists are fond of braying that the men who founded the United States weren’t Christians and of course really didn’t believe in God as portrayed in the scriptures.  The oddity with their assertions is that since they deny God and the fact that the nation was founded on a godly standard they presume to know what the founders didn’t do based on their own myopic views caused by unbelief. They routinely overlook historical fact contained in the writings of the men who knew and loved God, and to whom we owe for the republic they set up as they were guided by God’s hand. If the foregoing isn’t enough to make an atheist spit in derision, nothing will.

Along with the atheists, judges at all levels are denying that God exists in this nation and that He has any place in governmental operations. Both of them routinely cite the first amendment, that is a prohibition to Congress against setting up a national religion, and use it to hammer people into silence by saying that a mention of God is a violation of the doctrine of separation of church and state. There isn’t any such wording in the Constitution but they don’t and won’t listen to the truth. If they were to acknowledge the truth of this matter then they would be forever exposed to hearing the dreaded God word that they detest, not to mention prayer which denies them their belief that there isn’t any higher being than their own self righteous proclamations.

When men and women deny a higher power, in this case God who created Heaven and earth, they then set themselves upon a path for creating their own standards of behavior. In opposite manner, the founders didn’t use their own standards for setting up the republic, but rather looked to the heavens for guidance from the God they worshipped. Inherent in the work of the founders is an appeal to the righteousness of God and his morality. Even more, there is found the belief that God gives freedom from wrong doing by following his way and the consequent liberty that accompanies that freedom.

Contained in the Declaration of Independence are the following words, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …  To acknowledge these words is deny that humans and government are the giver of rights and that liberal judges and atheists cannot do. 

They counter that the Constitution doesn’t mention God or any of the things believers hold dear regarding government and religion. That is true, but the whole of the original foundation of the Constitution is built upon the words of the Declaration. When the two are separated then foggy thinking about God and denial of our God given heritage is the result.

Though the unbelievers won’t accept it, the founders believed there was a link between belief in God and good government. The link is an unchanging standard which is found both in the Bible and the Constitution. While the Bible standard is unchanging, the Constitution can be changed, but it isn’t wise to do so and history has proven that to be true.

Belief in a standard higher than oneself drove the founders. That is anathema to those who create their own standards which change like the winds to suit the moment for their ungodly beliefs and behavior. 

Atheists are driven to deny anything higher than themselves and consequently they fight against the founders who relied upon God to give us our nation. God destroys their human standards and points out that they are wrong no matter how much they protest to the contrary.
