Atheism teaches that there is no God, hence no God-given rights.
There's nothing in the Christian Bible about any "God-given rights."
One would be hard pressed to find anything about rights in any

That ideology coupled with a system that believed in the
superiority of the state at the expense of the individual was
murderously synergistic.
The belief in the "superiority of the state at the expense of the
individual" is particularly a Christian belief.
As Romans 13 says (RSV):
"1. Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For
there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have
been instituted by God.
"2. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has
appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."
St. Paul wrote lies.
And other Biblical authors didn't?

cut from the Bible all his works.

No. What became Christianity would have ended up as just one of many
Jewish factions that centered around various claimants to the
messiahship. Paul was the one that spread the word to non-Jews.
