You are free to try to come up with a convincing argument for human rights. Other atheists have tried, and failed.

That's where you're making your biggest mistake. I don't have to come up with an argument for human rights, I only have to recognize them. I don't have to understand how gravity works to break a hip if I fall down the stairs.

The men who wrote our Constitution/BOR's did not appeal to religion in any way in forming a "convincing argument" to protect our rights.
Quite the opposite in fact; -- they noted in the document that no religious test shall ever be required for any office in the USA. [Art VI]
