All one need to do is read the first paragraph to understand that, this is true. However keep in mine that since the Declaration of Independence was written by Spiritual Leaders, it will take those with a Spiritual Mine to understand this statement and see for a fact that the Declaration of Independence WAS written and based upon God and Christian Values

I guess calling it a Christian document rather a national policy document based on Christian values.
Because our founding fathers understood you CAN NOT separate the secular from the sacred.

No it is Simply a Secular Document.... Stating Christian Principles..... is a Smart and Timely Fashion.
The ONLY Christian... document... IS THE BIBLE!

Absolutley not. ANd for eveyone that keeps saying this country was founded on Christian values youre wrong. It was founded on ideals of Human Rights taken from the Roman Republic and the Athenian Democracy.. Hence the democratic Republic in whihc we live.

No. There's nothing in there that makes it a "Christian" document. It's a secular document.

I went and pulled a copy of it just for this question.
these terms appear:
Laws of nature and of Nature's God
they (men) are endowed by their Creator
Supreme Judge of the world
protection of Divine Providence
this sounds like a description of God to me.
John Quincy Adams said in his speech commemorating the DoI on July 4, 1837
We have this day restored the Sovereign to whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His Kingdom come.
The DoI first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission......................It laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Chrisianity. JQA
Thomas Jefferson: "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty."
"Men must choose to be governed by God, or to condemn themselves to be ruled by tyrants." William Penn
"A patriot without religion in my estimation is as great a paradox as an honest man without the fear of God."--Abigail Adams
the evidence for being established as a Christian nation goes on and on and on...............

Yes, our founding fathers had a strong belief in God and christian values. They would be disappointed in our country today.
