When did we stop teaching basic civics.

It is? Was our Constitution written by a god or gods, or was it written by people like us? 
Let's take a closer look at some of the text.  Now this was just a pre-amble, and was only a precept to, not the message of, the document, but it was written:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and were endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights."
Did you notice the first word there? I think you understand the second clause and the third clause correctly.  But I think you skipped over the first word.

1. Not the Constitution.

2. The statement is "We don't need to tell you these obvious things that the Creator did but we will anyway just to make our point."
