The Declaration of Independence reflects religious faith through phrases like 'endowed by their Creator,' suggesting rights are granted by God. This faith influenced ideals of natural rights and equality, reinforcing the belief that these rights are inherent and not granted by governments. This foundational perspective on rights has had a lasting impact on American democracy and civil liberties.
