America's Unspecified Godly Foundation.
America’s Founding Documents, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and The Bill of Rights, indeed were carefully devised and endorsed by The Founding Fathers. Yet, there are in these Documents no mention of God’s Name other than as a generic Creator, no quoting of Scripture, and no specific ideology directly taken from Scripture. For example, The Unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and the notion that All Men Are Created Equal as The Founding Fathers spoke of it are not found in Scripture.
There needs to be some work done to identify from Scripture what are the Godly Principles given in The Founding Documents. Primary data must be used from Scripture and from The Federal Founding Documents, rather than today’s opinions, personal writings of Founding Fathers, or even historic local Colonial edicts from elected officials. What exactly were the Godly Principles contained in The Founding Documents which come directly from Scripture?

So true, and that is the point of this Thread.
