To speak of the Tao giving rights is a presumption which requires explanation. We are we and we know from common sense that we have a precious internal freedom which consists of being able to choose by which values we shall live. We make these choices individually thousands of times, every sign that comes up elicits this choice. To say we are idolatrous is to say that our sights and actions are directed to ignoble ends. The sight that infers the Tao in everything is inevitably guided to a free choice of values which respect the universal reality which is, ontologically speaking, the evolutionary sweep of non-idolatry, democracy, helpfulness and tolerance.
