Your question is very interesting in the sense that "common sense", being acquired in the social environment in which one is born, is highly dependent on positive law, and therefore no longer has any connection with what we call natural law. Natural law is a kind of fiction, thought to predate positive law, which attempts to correct natural inequalities to give all individuals equal rights (at least in a democracy). If I consider "natural law" to be a fiction, or a mythology, it's because there are no human societies without laws - written or unwritten - governing relations between individuals, and depending on the beliefs of those (usually men) who impose these laws or rules. Current "common sense", for example, consists in considering that women have rights, that children have specific rights (to be protected as children), but if you look at what's happening with children today, because of gender theory, you can see that they are not protected against this theory, and that in reality, women who base themselves on natural facts, i.e. the difference between the sexes, and the right of women to be homosexual, are very violently opposed by the proponents of gender theory. You could write a whole book on this subject! But I'm guessing some already exist. I don't know all the bibliography that exists in all the languages :-) I wish you lots of research!
Without any flight of fantasy, common sense is -ceteris paribus- an offshoot of the natural laws. Every mortal is entitled to enjoying a plethora of rights and privileges which are considered to have outdated his creation. Thomas Paine in (The Rights of Man) opines that:
"Natural rights are those which appertain to a man in right of his existence---Among this class, as is before mentioned, are all the intellectual rights, or rights of the mind: consequently, religion is one those rights".
Inferentially, where there are natural rights, there are automatically natural laws. When there are natural laws, religion should be inclusive, and when it is inclusive, it works along with impeccable experiences to build a kind of common sense that will assume a global colouration.
