A person has to be a theist in order to believe in human rights and democracy as practiced in the United States.
Atheists have a real hard time coming up with a convincing argument for human rights.

Bull.
Our constitution is a non-theistic document that has a convincing argument on how we can believe in human rights and the principles of a free republic as practiced in the United States.

Atheists freeload on the morality and law-abidingness of theists. Always have, always will. It is what makes life tolerable.

You want to know what kind of society you have when its laws and constitution are written by atheists, and it drives theists from its midst? The Soviet Union is the archetype of such a society.

We hold these
truths
to be
self-evident, that all
men
are self-created
equal, that they
are endowed by a
myth
with certain
unalienable
Rights,
that
among these are
An early death,
Slavery to vice,
and the pursuit of
Unneeded suffering
