take it further:
to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them
separate and equal for the people ... laws of nature ... nature's god ... that all men are created equal ... among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness ... to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
all these elements point to the teaching of the natural laws in a manner that would not interfere with the separate and equal treatment of all the various personal and individual varieties of faith and belief.
And note particularly that government is empowered by the people, not a god.
