George Mason was one of the Founding Fathers that insisted on the Bill of Rights, or the first ten amendments, to be added to the Constitution, saying regarding his decision that, "The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth."
Ok, a couple of things.
1. You're quoting Kirk Cameron, former actor and well-known idiot. His views on the matter count for less than nothing.
2. George Mason was, if anything, an advocate of natural law as it pertains to human liberty.
But your quote above doesn't actually answer my question. Plenty of non-Christian as well as pre-Christian societies have advocated much the same things. What is unique to Christianity that is also in your founding documents? Bear in mind, that the Declaration doesn't have the force of law - it was and remains a rather beautiful piece of rhetoric, but it isn't law in the sense that the Constitution is.
In point of fact, it is a matter of law that your government isn't founded on Christian principles.
