You are completely right on! Rights come from God. It is a major reason the Big Brother types are trying to eradicate God/religion. Early Marxists found that God/religion and family ties prevented many people from embracing their philosophy of collectivism controlled from the top. This time, they want to get those things out of the way. That rights come from God - our very being comes from God, whether or not one sees God as an entity independent from us - and governments attempting to take our liberty and our right to choose from us are robbery at our expense.
I also agree that no cause whatsoever can be valid if it encourages people to submit to centralized control. However, that climate change is a hoax I do not buy. Simply looking around can show that our Earth, our only physical home, has been polluted violated, and bullied by the notion that people create better than God and that technology and convenience are triumphant, having overcome Nature and the world that God created (from either viewpoint, harm has been done.) The solution is not to control and mandate everyone (which will only make things worse) but to open our eyes and quit whatever we are doing that harms the Earth and its denizens. There are plenty of people who are voluntarily trying to cooperate with the Earth, and these people are also under the guns of Big Brother. They are the permaculture homesteaders, the regenerative farmers, those attempting to restore the rainforest and protect it from destruction, those who protect our public, people-owned wild areas from avid miners and loggers and others who would take over these places for self-profit, at the expense of the people and other Earth denizens who benefit from wild areas. These are not those who would tyrannize us. The tyrants are those in the government who want to empower the destroyers, ignoring the ordinary people they hope are destined to become slaves. So, I completely reject those who have "captured" the awareness that we have not been kind to Earth and who wish to mandate for profit and control, but do acknowledge that a free change of minds, hearts and awareness is needed if we wish to continue with any nurturing wild areas left. May God help us.
