A Bane of Non-theism: Unalienable Rights

What the Founder's understood is that in order for there to be such a thing as an unalienable right, it must have been bestowed by the Creator. In other words, there must be a transcendent being who created us with these rights. In the same vein, any moral code of right and wrong, if it is to be taken as absolute, must transcend us all. Otherwise, right and wrong, good and evil, are just opinions, varying by culture and individual. If there is no higher authority, one who is above all human institutions, unalienable rights cannot be established.
