Hugely interesting question and requires a book or two to answer fully.
First, however, I'd like to correct you on the use of the term human rights-- if you mean the Founders' of the US, then they were more interested in civil rights and freedoms. The term "human rights" only came after WWII (1945 San Francisco).
Several basic understandings are shared between Judeo-Christian tradition and rights-thinking. These include: 1) All humans have inherent human worth. 2) Individuals are responsible for their own actions, and are not in any way predetermined on a course of action or a place in society. 3) There is a right and a wrong (dualistic morality). 4) There are universal values and there is at least an underlying universal morality (as opposed to culturally-bound morality or individual morality). 5) The individual, rather than the community, the family, the tribe, is the main referent (basically individualistic way of thinking).
