it's a pretty simple idea... God gives rights, so that no man or woman may rise up as a dictator, with the ability to give or take rights from any individual.
it doesn't mean a person has to believe in a Creator God, or some Egyptian god, or whatever. it doesn't even mean a person must be Christian, or Jew or Muslim.
just the IDEA of a single entity, greater than man, that gives rights.
The USA isn't even a Christian government. It's actually supposed to be as far from that as possible. PEOPLE can be of any faith they wish, but the government & faith should NEVER intertwine.
that creates heretics & despots, where if a certain majority group gets into power (ie; democracy= mob rule), you can be burned at the stake or hung to death if you don't believe in their "faith" (ie; Islam)

don't get people & government mixed up.
