Disagreed. Whether or not you believe in natural rights, it is quite possible for a government to exist which respects them, codifies this respect into law, and respects them equally among all.
Your disagreement is irrelevant. If natural rights do not exist in reality, it is utterly impossible for a government to respect them any more than it is possible for a government to respect unicorns. At best they can pretend to respect them, but both actions would be imaginary.
