" Note that the power of government is derived not from any god but from the people. No appeal is made in this document to a god for authority of any kind. In no case are any powers given to religion in the affairs of man. Remember, Too, That this document was not written to form or found a government but was stating intent in a way that was meant to appeal to an audience with European sensibilities. Only four times is there any reference at all to higher powers " "Laws of Nature and of Nature"s God, " "Supreme Judge of the world, " "their Creator, " and "divine Providence" " and in all four cases the references to a higher power appeal to the idea of inherent human dignity, Never implying a role for a god in government.
