If the USA was not founded on theistic beliefs then why do the first couple sentences of the deceleration of independence use the word's "Natures God" and "Empowered by their Creator"?

I'm not saying we should force religion on people in any way but in the same way we shouldn't force non-religion. The constitution does not say anywhere in it "freedom of religion" or "freedom from religion". It says "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Show me the laws that congress has made respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
