I do not owe Alan Keyes any suffering.
You do owe him an explanation of the basis for your rights. If not from the Creator then is it from the will of the majority or what each differing individual says it is?

"Rights" are essentially what hasn't been restricted by those with the power and authority to create and enforce laws. There is no "right" to commit murder or theft because those in power have decreed such.
That isn't to say that it's necessarily a good or bad thing. It's just how it is.
