If not from religion, from where do you hope to get the moral component?
Natural law itself doesn’t prove God or gods. But without them, your options for a moral basis seem to be human idealism or “everyone is free to do as they wish, strength is progress.” I see no others.
Everyone struggles to believe sin exists, but everyone believes they have been sinned against at one time or another. If it’s possible to be right, why?
Government can enforce right and wrong behavior as they see it, but they must not be the ones who ordain what right and wrong behavior are. If they were, then Japanese internment was “right.” At one time or another, bad men have used government, law and economics (and religion) as the basis for their worst conquests.
The world we are both longing for will not come from the law.
