From The Declaration Of Independance. Of course those who argue for government to not recognize GOD will argue these men that wrote this were uneducated and we are just so much more advanced in our knowledge.
===============================
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
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. --"

A sidenote: after re-reading it, it seems like a lot of the grievences the Colonies had against Britain's government, ring true today with ours.
