"If it is not a big deal why do you even suggest it?"

Obviousy, - because the point was being made that it was necessary to have a creator 'endow' us with rights.
The fact that we have inalienable rights does not depend upon the existence of a 'creator'. - Believe in a god if you will, and leave me to my own beliefs.

Okay. Then what DOES this fact depend on? If it depends on chance, then how do you know we even have inalienable rights? Is it because our forefathers paid LIP SERVICE to those, too?

If you want to pretend that there is no God that is up to you, but the Declaration of Independence and again the basis of our justice system stems from a belief in God. Otherwise the only justice is force.
