It is better because as I was taught in Civics class that King George believed his was by birthright and that gave him the right to rule over people. It was important that the declarers made sure that sure that they elevated themselves (or lowered King George) to their level so that the discussion following would make sense to discuss as opposed to King George saying, "But God gave me the right to rule over you.
It doesn't state God, Allah, Yahweh, or any specific god, but one whom the reader identifies with as the power that created them, even if that means the spark of life at conception.
