The connection between Christian beliefs and human rights according to philosophers

The belief in universal benevolence and human rights is logical if one believes in a god who created humans in his image and commands love./nThis belief is supported by philosophers Friedrich Nici, Charles Taylor, and John Grey./nBelief in universal benevolence and human rights can still be held even if one doesn't believe in a god./nNici's perspective is that if there is no god and the universe is impersonal, then this belief may not hold up.
