We are atheist Americans who are otherwise conservative politically. According to the Pew Research Center, 19 percent of conservatives are unaffiliated with any particular religion, and 14 percent of atheists identify as conservative.
The Declaration of Independence does reference a "creator." However, that document was a declaration of independence by thirteen British colonies from rule by the British monarch. It was not (as some apologists claim) a founding document for our nation.
The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the founding documents for our nation and neither contain a reference to God or the divine. Additionally, the Preamble to the United States Constitution does not mention God or religion.
