Rights.

I keep hearing people say that their rights are god given. If I remember right, England has 13, America has 11, Germany, if I am correct, though I may be wrong, has something like, 23 to 26, and Sweden only has 6.

If these are 'God' given rights, how come, for example, America, can take, and amend these rights. Does that not make them Human given rights, and therefore, not rights, but privileges?

Discuss.

but I have say...one day humans have to leave this religion stuff behind.  It doesn't have to be immediately, but eventually I hope that people will stop believing in absurd books that were written 2000 years ago.  A religion is a whole system that keeps people from using their critical thinking skills and that holds back humanity as a whole.  There are a whole host of other problems too, but they can be saved for a real debate.  For the time being I suppose religious freedom is ok, but I hope one day it won't even be an issue.
