Do your research and you'll see that our Bill of Rights is rooted in Native American Iroquois law and tradition. Nowhere in history was everything in the Bill of Rights used as a source of governance, not even the Magna Carta.
You would be incorrect. Western society is indeed based on Judeo-Christianity. Everything we believe regarding right and wrong has its basis in Judeo-Christianity. We are steeped in it from birth, and history proves it at every turn.
Only non-believers, who believe in non-believing, think otherwise.
Our Constitutional Rights are endowed upon us by our "Creator". The term is used solely as a means to not specify a religion and to ensure no one "Church" has a step up on others by being mentioned. The "Creator", regardless religion, is singular and a supreme being. That spells "God" to me. You can call him what you like, but it is the same supreme being.
