According to our nation’s birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, our rights come from God. We have been endowed by our Creator with these rights.
“Endowed by Their Creator” features a brief history of the Declaration; of Thomas Jefferson; of the sources Jefferson drew
from; and what the founders intended on religious liberty—including a contrast between the American (pro-God) Revolution and the French (anti-God) Revolution.

Director Statement
America was not a happy accident. It is based on ideas, including ideas drawn from the Bible.
The Declaration of Independence was revolutionary in its day. It is revolutionary in our day. The
essence of the American experiment is “self-rule under God.” “Endowed by Their Creator”
concludes with a snippet from the Inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961, in which he
declared, “And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue
around the globe–the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but
from the hand of God.”
