People are just too fat still
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

Even more reason to remove such silly notions from a NEW Declaration.
Maybe you're misinterpreting what I'm trying to say. I have nothing against religion in any form (until they get violent or hateful at least). I just think the term "Creator" in the Declaration leaves the door open to misinterpretation by future generations, who may say "This country was FOUNDED on religion, they even refer to an intelligent creator in the declaration of independence!"

ah so your creator is not nature ?
anyway, i hope the op can see, the problem is systemic as well as global. the two major parties are extremely polarized along the lines of religion/atheism, to the point where if one side thinks something is a good idea, the other side will automatically want the exact opposite, just because. it wasn't nearly this bad before the 80s.
as a christian, i side with secularists on many topics because i don't personally want to be under the rule of any particular religious group. however, the secularists, don't appreciate the christians who support them because they've been radicalized for just this time in our history. they want to embrace a totalitarian government, if for no other reason than to rid society of religion, which our current government is not a workable model. but it appears they want to start with christians. so they are embracing islam because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"
i figure once they manage to get rid of christians, they will then turn on islam and blame them for the whole thing. globalist tactic, says i. in fact, we're all like little globalist puppets on strings. i'm trying very hard not to be, but it's nearly impossible seeing how every narrative is pumped into society with globalist fingerprints all over it
