Guys, this ain’t complicated. An atheist cannot agree with the constitution. The preamble states the premise for our entire concept of citizen rights. We are created equal and given rights by our creator, God, and that is why government cannot alienate us from our inherent natural rights. If we are not created by god, on what basis do we deserve equal justice before the law? If god did not give us these rights, what is our claim to them? This is the constitution. If you disagree with its foundational premise, what is your reason for agreeing with the rest of it? The tea party is all about the constitution, period. Covers it all, in my view.
