Likewise your atheistic fallacies. Believers secured that right. So you will have to live with that knowledge, that Gods listeners made you free(if you are an American), and not the other way around.
Read the Declaration of Independence. In part: "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and 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,... We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,..... We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,.... And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
ASSBACKWARDS! Everyone, without any exceptions, is BORN an Atheist. Becoming a believer in imaginary deities is LEARNED BEHAVIOR that is normally INDOCTRINATED prior to the development of critical thinking skills given that imaginary deities cannot withstand Critical Thinking SCRUTINY. Also worth noting that it is ATHEISTS that are doing the UPHOLDING of YOUR beliefs and NOT the other way round.
ah bullshit, neoatheist bunk. Infants 'have natural belief in God. INFANTS are HARD-WIRED to believe in God, and atheism has to be learned, according to an Oxford University psychologist. Dr Olivera Petrovich told a University of Western Sydney conference on the psychology of religion that even preschool children constructed theological concepts as part of their understanding of the physical world. According to Dr Petrovich, an expert in psychology of religion, belief in God is NOT TAUGHT but develops naturally. She told The Age yesterday that belief in God emerged as a result of other psychological development connected with understanding causation. It was hard-wired into the human psyche, but it was important not to build too much into the concept of God. "It's the concept of God as creator, primarily," she said. Dr Petrovich said her findings were based on several studies, particularly one of Japanese children aged four to six, and another of 400 British children aged five to seven from seven different faiths. "Atheism is definitely an acquired position," https://www.smh.com.au/national/infants-have-natural-belief-in-god-20080725-3l3b.html
SO, one guy thinks this and it's true? AHAHAHAHHAHAHA, oh man I needed that. What's even funnier is that you're all about the cognitive abilities of...infants. Infantile describes this better than I could.
Christian infighting did help bring us religious freedom, agree there, even most Christian do not want a theocracy
Why would you think yourself accountable to a creator God? And why would you think there being a creator God must mean you have any more purpose and/or meaning than if there was no creator God?

Joining this thread is a mistake. But I don't much care for fictional history. Christianity is syncretic. It borrows from Judaism, Greek philosophy, and several older religions. My favorite bit is that it's monotheistic but that it's god has a father, brothers and an assortment of lesser minions. In short, typical... It's big claim to fame is that it was the first buffet style religion. People just love buffets.
Tell that to the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust, the culmination of 2000 years of christian jew hate!
