Does there have to be a Supreme Being to justify rights, or can they be justified by our nature as thinking beings?

You need to be more specific. Rights in the generic sense would be all encompassing. Civil rights, religious rights, natural rights, et al. would all fall under "generic" rights. |
But that is in part what I am asking here. Is there any difference between civil rights and natural rights, and if so what are they. Are religious rights a subset of rights in general, or do they mean something different.
Do we have any rights in the political sense. Or are rights just a convenient fiction?
