You're right. I was mixing it up with the Declaration, which in my mind, goes hand and hand with the Constitution. It's the Declaration that says we are endowed by our, "Creator" with certain, inalienable rights. The Constitution directs how the government should be set up to protect those rights. My apologies for any confusion I caused.
No worries at all. The Declaration is (a very important) rhetorical document, but the Constitution is the legal document which serves as the foundation for our nation.
The closest it comes to mentioning God is in the First Amendment, which provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”.
I agree with you completely. I’m just stating the actual fact that the Constitution does not base itself as being given by God nor does it cite God as the source of any rights described therein. Again, just stating a fact - don’t shoot the messenger.
The Constitution does not actually say not. It does not say your rights are from God. It does not even mention God.

Well u tell me whose authority you claim your freedom by.
God is the author of mine. All good comes from God. Rights are good.
