Individuals all over the world have different rights, largely due to different systems of governance. You have you and the universe, and what you can make of it. As I said before, The "Rights of Man" came out of the enlightenment. It was ridding us of the idea that we didn't have to have a King or a Priest to tell us what to do. Took a bit longer for minorities and women to be included. Let's not get this kind of discussion hung up with whither there is a God or not. That is a waste of time talking about here. Most of the world believes individuals are the property of God or of the State. We don't. Our system is based on the concept that we own ourselves. This is never a "pure" system, and the argument is always "what do I own, and what do I have to give to the State."
