There is a subtext here that is not lost on me. These people believe that if you do not accept that our rights are endowed by a creator that you’re either a sub-human or a non-citizen of sort. The fact is that humans have been struggling with the concept of rights long before they invented religion. It is a construct of human evolution or more specifically social evolution that may have included the idea of a creator. However, if we look back at human history we will find that The Enlightenment was a revolt against a nebulous (skyhook) philosophy towards one based on reason.
