On this date in 1776, Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" was adopted, after a vote approving it on July 2. Its secular purpose was to "dissolve the political bands," and it inaugurated the anti-biblical idea that "governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." Jefferson was a Deist who was highly critical of Christianity, and whose revolutionary document made references to a "Nature's God."
