Hi again, Muck!  Uh-oh, while I didn't mention Atheists once in my post, if you could show where I "denigrated" them, I'll do my best to help you not feel victimized- Very important!

The Founding Fathers used the singular, capitalized *Creator* literally as God, but certainly allowed for you take that as any higher power you want.  Just so you acknowledge that the rights they speak of came from something both *outside* and *higher* from us.  Again, hope this helps!
