Our rights as human beings don’t come from the Constitution, the government, Congress, the president, or the Supreme Court. They are inherent. As our Declaration of Independence says: “[We] are endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Believing our rights are inherent and merely secured by government doesn’t make you a “Christian nationalist.” This belief that rights precede government—regardless of whether you believe in God—is fundamental to what it means to be an American.
