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, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
In other words, that when the government does not allow the rights given to us by our creator, people have a right to alter that government. When the Constitution of the United States of America was adopted, the first amendment guaranteed religious liberty.
Those were the decisions of our Founding Fathers. Today it is our time to choose. We can either validate or invalidate their decisions with what we decide in our day. How important is religious liberty to us today?
