It doesn't. "Freedom of Religion" is from the Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution.
"Amendment I-
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

It doesn't. Freedom of religion is codified in the Constitution. The Declaration just tells King George to go suck eggs.

I don't think it says that exactly. What it does say is that our rights don't come from govenrment but were granted by our creator. It goes on to state that the purpose of government is to protect those God given rights. That a just government must then obtain whatever power it uses from the consent of the governed. One of those rights one would presume to be the freedom to worship as you see fit.

It doesn't. That's the first amendment to the Constitution you're thinking of.
