In an atheist perspective, humans don't have rights. After all, without God, where else would we have gotten our supposed "unalienable rights" from? Or did we somehow acquired them during evolution?

So I guess those who follow the American Constitution are suppose to believe in God or something.

Do we or don't we have unalienable rights? Argue well. The existence of God may depend on it.

So, the implication is that the only source of rights is Divinity?

The 'rights' which are 'inalienable' legally come from the law itself, and those who created the law. The ones which people consider ought to be inalienable are obviously variable depending on the individual.

And the idea that atheists don't believe in human rights is just, frankly, odd.

So people created inalienable rights (because people created the law), even though what's inalienable varies from person to person.
