whats the basis of rights


Can you elaborate a bit more? Are you asking me what I think the basic human rights are for everyone? Ie a job, a roof over their heads, healthcare, etc?

Not too bad, came out pretty quickly and wasn't too messy.

Are you a religious atheist, as in the activist type? Plaster your life in atheist paraphernalia, and practically preach it? Like, every word out of your mouth has to be about how god doesn't exist, and how people are stupid for believing?

Or, are you the happy-go-lucky type, that just doesn't believe in god, personally? You don't outright deny any possibility of a god-type being existing, but you just don't believe based on your reasoning and logic?

Second type. If people are religious good for them, it doesn't change how I view them as a person. If they use their religion to justify beliefs that I believe are wrong (gay marriage is wrong because Bible, women are slaves because Islam) then I don't associate with that person

Because there's no proof of any god and I haven't "felt" any god or anything like that.

Because I believe that government intervention in people's lives is wrong, people deserve basic rights such as healthcare and housing, and free trade and globalisation is the best way for the world.

no not "rights" where someone else has to provide the service and labor to give dudes free houses and food and healthcare

asking about American individual rights like free speech, bear arms, right to decline soldiers from forcibly lodging at your home, protection from unlawful search and seizures, right to not incriminate once self, speed trial and due process of law and no egregious prison times out of proportion to law violations - etc. - all that good stuff.

asking because atheist libertarians don't uniformly agree on the basis for those individual rights. whats your take.

I suppose this part can be relative to the person.

I've heard people argue that, for them, the order of existence is proof enough (for them) to believe in god.

I'm actually not sure what proof there could be that would convince people. A massive display of power from said being? I think that many people would just deny and critique.

Maybe said being just doesn't give a shit if we believe or not lol. Of course, I'm speaking more about a deistic type god, not a theistic one.

I'm not American and have not grown up in that culture so I feel I'm not qualified to comment on American rights.

It would literally have to be a god descending from the heavens or scientific proof that god exists. Or god's voice appearing in my head.
