Chuck Todd worries about Christian Fundamentalists in our government

He's right of course.  Here's another example of when Christian fundamentalists believed our rights come from God instead of the government

Since there has been some squabbling over Roy Moore's fundamentalist assertion that our rights come from our Creator, rather than enlightened government officials, as Mr. Todd seems to prefer: 

The immediate context of Kennedy's statement, lest someone think that context will make it say something other than it does:

We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end as well as a beginning--signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. 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. 

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. 

I know that Mr. Moore has said some off the wall things.  I get that he could end up being a wrecking ball to the GOP as he lives up to every negative stereotype about conservatives that liberals possess.  But I'm far more concerned about a media figure who is among the top tiers of our political society who thinks it's from governments (read: leftist, secular governments) that we get our rights or, because it's up to the governments, we lose them.
