Andrew Sullivan contrasts my “Christianist” view of human rights with his “conservative” one and Norm Geras’s “liberal” one. The word “allegedly” should go in front of each of three labels. In truth, I don’t really disagree with Geras, who writes that human rights should be grounded “in the nature of human beings, and the needs, interests and capacities they all have by virtue precisely of being human beings and sharing a common nature.” I merely add to this account the point that we have this human nature thanks to God, a point that does not always need to be adverted to. (Any more than we would always have to advert to the point, which I also believe, that we exist, and everything else exists, thanks to God, to give an account of human rights.)
