It's unusual, quite literally.

It's usually Christians who say "rights" are granted by God.

Yea... I can't argue with you on that, but the Christians at the time the constitution, bill of rights, and federalist papers were drafted understood that they were endowed. A gift by some understanding of the meaning and gifts from god tend to come hand in hand with responsibility and obligation.
