What do you believe?

Do you believe the Constitution and Bill of Rights are the words of Providence revealed? 
Do you believe in the Enlightenment? 
Do you realize the importance of The Protestant Reformation, which encouraged free thinkers to question the practices of the Catholic Church, and how the printing press spread the new ideas relatively quickly and easily and how that would tidal wave ideas in the future? 
Do you agree with the thoughts of the single most important influence that shaped the founding of the United States, namely the writings of John Locke, a 17th century Englishman who redefined the nature of government? In his Second Treatise of Government, Locke identified the basis of a legitimate government. According to Locke, a ruler gains authority through the consent of the governed. The duty of that government is to protect the natural rights of the people, which Locke believed to include life, liberty, and property. If the government should fail to protect these rights, its citizens would have the right to overthrow that government. This idea deeply influenced Thomas Jefferson as he drafted the Declaration of Independence. 
Do you believe as I do in the writings of Thomas Paine, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin? 
Do you respect and revere that they adapted Locke's theory, then invented and adopted revolutionary ideas about scientific rationality, religious toleration and experimental political organization? 
Do you believe that Borders, Language, Culture and a shared set of moral principles and values define a Country?
