We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States

I do not know and cannot speak for Liberals or Conservatives, either but I certainly DO NOT believe that we have rights thanks to GOD.
If that were true the Bill of Rights would be absolutely unnecessary.
If you are believer, you might believe that GOD wants you to have human rights, but GOD isn't really working all that hard to make sure you have them, is he?
Meanwhile our government is (sort of and not very well)

Do you believe in individual liberties?
Apparently not. So sad.
This is from Richard II, by Shakespeare...
King Richard is speaking to the people who are in rebellion against him:
KING RICHARD II
"We are amazed; and thus long have we stood
To watch the fearful bending of thy knee,
Because we thought ourself thy lawful king:
And if we be, how dare thy joints forget
To pay their awful duty to our presence?
If we be not, show us the hand of God
That hath dismissed us from our stewardship..."
Richard is citing the belief in divine right, i.e., that the King had absolute power, given to him by God,
and Richard is saying if you're claiming otherwise,
show me where God said otherwise.
It's an excellent argument; unfortunately it didn't save him.
So...
I'll make the same sort of argument. If your claim is that God gave the People certain rights,
show us where, when, and how God did that.

When you seek remediation for what you believe has been a violation of your rights, do you go to Court,
or do you go to Church?

According to turds like you, true rights can't be violated.

Well, if dipshits like you were to actually read history, you would know that rights are a human construct.

"God" is a human construct as well . . . prove me wrong, anyone.

Inalienable rights from God? OK. Then where were those rights at Auschwitze? Our rights as citizens are the result of what we as citizens agree that they should be. The is no diety assuring those rights. Otherwise we would have had them throughout history. We did not, and only had them when wise and courageous men decided that society would function much better for all people were we to have them. That is what the American Revolution was all about. Depending on ourselves rather than some postulated diety in the sky.
