One common misuse of the Declaration of Independence is to argue that it states that our rights come from God and, therefore, there are no legitimate interpretations of the rights in the Constitution that would be contrary to God. The first problem is that the Declaration of Independence refers to a “Creator” and not the Christian “God” meant by people making the argument. The second problem is that the “rights” mentioned in the Declaration of Independence are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” — none of which are “rights” discussed in the Constitution.
Finally, the Declaration of Independence also makes it clear that governments created by humanity derive their powers from the consent of the governed, not from any gods. This is why the Constitution does not make any mention of any gods.
Declaration of Independence Christianity Myth
Furthermore the Christian bible isn't exactly a champion of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness either. Consider how many people the biblical God put to death, how slavery is condoned and the tribulations of Job are anything but a "pursuit of happiness".
