The closest I can think of is instinct.

No. Rights exist within the realm of ethics, not morality. At common law there's a strong connection between a Creator and natural rights:
"Those rights then which God and nature have established, and are therefore called natural rights, such as are life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectually invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength when declared by the municipal laws to be inviolable. On the contrary, no human legislature has power to abridge or destroy them, unless the owner shall himself commit some act that amounts to a forfeiture." ~ Blackstone

No, which is why the Creator is referenced in the US declaration of independence ...

Anyone can ignore them. Point of the declaration of independence is they have the right to defend their rights against those who would take them.
Predominantly Christian Africa? That one?
Again, not exactly secular.
In the last few decades, they probably have improved compared to the situation before.
Britain, where clerics are appointed democratically to the upper house of the legislature and where many children are denied the opportunity for a non-religious education.
Again: not exactly secular.
The prevailing trend the world over is that as secularism increases, so does well-being.
Then, tell me how well off the world is.[/QUOTE]
