As I see it, you have three choices in naming the Source of your rights:

1) God - absolute and unchanging, according to His revealed will by His Word
2) Government - whimsical enforcement by the Power du jour
3) Your personal declaration - rationally indefensible.
I am not an atheist so I will not attempt to debate the point. However, in my opinion your item #3 is wrong. I have observed several debates on the topic and the atheists have a rational, compelling argument in favor of natural rights.
