We must have read too much Nietzche in godless liberal colleges.

I don't think there's a problem for the simple reason that all of the bases asserted in support of universal human rights is an article of faith. Some of us put our faith in God and some put it in the human race. Either way, we all have acknowledged the existence of some force that collectively drives us (admittedly some segments of "us" are driven at different rates) to increased social cooperation in the interest of mutual survival and benefit.
Why not just accept it on faith that we collectively are inherently good and not worry that we don't know exactly why?
