But it’s more accurate to say that this was more along the lines of a philosophical belief in “natural law” referencing “The Creator”

That's monotheism, not some fuzzy form of philosophy.
No, monotheism means the belief in a single god (lower case) as opposed to polytheism which believes in multiple gods.
I’ll say again, with the caveat for this discussion it’s generalized and oversimplified, the references in the Declaration of Independence to inalienable rights from the creator weren’t “religious” or specific to “The” Judeo-Christian “God”.

quote:
Natural law[1] (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a system of law based on a close observation of human nature, from which values thought by the proponents of this concept to be intrinsic to human nature can be deduced and applied independently of positive law (the express enacted laws of a state or society).[2] According to the theory of law called jusnaturalism, all people have inherent rights, conferred not by act of legislation but by "God, nature, or reason."[3] Natural law theory can also refer to "theories of ethics, theories of politics, theories of civil law, and theories of religious morality."[4]

Yes, I'm well aware of naturalist claims. From a philosophical standpoint they're no different than claims of a creator, atheists are just more comfortable calling their supernatural "thing" that they believe in "natural".
