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.

No, it's a bad bad thing when rights are defined as you have. Our constitution was designed to prevent laws from being enforced which abridge rights as defined therein.
