If we don't both agree to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, (in this case §2 and §18 http://en.wikisource...of_Human_Rights) then yes you're right.
Do you hold deity higher than human rights? It's a very specific question, but I would like to know if we have any common world view of right and wrong, or if we're just missing each others points.
Why do you think murderers and rapists go to heaven without repenting in the first place?
Forgive me, but I was kind of under the impression that the way to salvation was through the belief and acceptance that Jesus died as our savior, not through repentance? So you can rape, murder do whatever despicable and sinful things you like, but so long as you believe Jesus died on that cross to cleanse all of our sins, you're good to go. On the other hand you can lead the kind of life which Jesus was a great proponent of (love thy neighbor, judge not, do violence to no man, live peaceably with all men etc. etc.) and burn in hell because you didn't believe that he died as our savior.
Well you were under the wrong impression if that's what you thought the majority of christians believe.

In study after study there is found a clear and consistent connection between a lower IQ and religiosity.
