Rights come from God. They can't come from anywhere else.
Is there any non-theological argument for human rights?
I'll take that as a 'no'. You realize, of course, that means you have no rights unless you can prove your particular god exists.
proving the existence of god or any rights due an individual is irrelevant to their existence. dealing with infinites of potential, rights exist before, during and after they are exercised or violated, no matter if any parties involved or bearing witness recognize their existence or can validate their origins. they are a constant. whether 'proven' or merely an object of faith, deity is constant.
the infinite or constant concept of rights is regarded to be discovered by humanity's greater intellect, not invented by it. these are the most basic observations of social science which existentialists argue have been 'wired' into our psyche. all social creatures seem to possess this sort of wiring which draws strength rather than chaos from numbers.
