The notion of human rights stems from the idea that God endowed us all equally with a certain set of rights that we all have in a state of nature. This was a constant in both Locke, Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and others.
It was originally a concept grounded in natural religion, basically, the idea of God who wasn't bound to historical religion, not the God who revealed junk to specific people, which was an arbitrary and cruel idea
God made man with certain inherent rights, which were the original human rights of natural law, life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness. Now these laws were different depending on who you spoke to, but those were the general basics.
