Three theses are possible in relation to the contention that religions provide positive resources for human rights: 1.when religions are used as resources, they can enlarge the scope of human rights. For instance, according to Article 3 of the Universal Declaration, "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." when religions such as Hinduism,Buddhism,and Jainism, as well as indigenous traditions, are used as illustrative resources on this point, the extension of the right to life beyond human life is suggested.
