As someone who thinks natural rights are, in fact, incoherent outside a theistic worldview (as I believe with that all rights are granted by legitimate authority), I found this a very fair and balanced overview. :)
Regardless of our metaethical presuppositions we each affirm the same foundational social ethic and pursue the same political end, the maximization of liberty, which is one reason why the libertarian philosophy attracts dedicated religious, irreligious, and even anti-religious people.

Great video. This is a source of confusion far too often in a variety of discussions. Thanks for the clear presentation of material.
