re: If you believe your rights come from God then you are a Christian Nationalist

So where does an atheist believe these inherent rights come from? If they are subjective then they arent inherent.

You’ve heard of the term “human rights”? Thats the same thing, bro.

The right to live, determine the course of your own life, and believe what you want to believe. As long as those beliefs and actions don’t take away someone else’s or harm them, have at it.

These rights exist because we do as humans. They come from the ability to reason which is what makes us different from animals.

Likewise, the most murderous, brutal regimes were the atheistic Socialist movements of the 20th Century: Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Cambodia, Maoist China, and many many Communist regimes in Africa. I’d argue that any atheistic movement that has come to fruition in recent history has not been beneficial for the people it governed.
