You Can Be Secular, You Don't Have to Believe in God, Image a God
There's been four ways that secular thinkers in the last 30 or 40 years have been working to try to ground human rights without God. The one is natural law. If we just look at nature, nature itself. We don't need religion. Nature itself just tells us that human beings are equal. A lot of secular people would say, well, you know, human rights are just things we create. They can be removed by majority vote. In fact, there's a great place where Dershowitz says this: Human rights are not discovered, they are created because the whole point of it is that a minority can claim the rights against the majority.
