God is not the legal definer of our laws, the Constitution is. In fact the framers were quite clear on that matter. And where the framers got their ideas is not relevant since it is clear that no religious test shall be given to anybody in the government. SO your social contract is only a personal opinion.
The Constitution pre-supposed that rights exist, and the Decleration of Independance says they come from God. Our founders agreed that there was a God and that this is where our rights come from, so if you don't believe in God then you therefore can't logicaly believe in any rights God has given, because you can't receave anything from anyone who doesn't exist.

It's *the* social contract, not *my* social contract; I didn't write it and it doesn't only apply to me.
