The Declaration of Independence isn't part of the U.S. Constitution. The words "god" or "creator" don't appear in the Constitution or Bill of Rights that I'm aware of. It seems quite secular.

- yeetawayhn 5y agoThe Declaration of Independence is not a legally binding document either.
- rainbowzootsuit 5y agoThanks, that's what I was getting at if I was unclear. It predates the Constitution by more than a decade, with an abandoned Articles of Confederation in the middle. It's historically important, but not legally meaningful when talking about the later US Constitution of 1789.
