I can imagine something like that. One may very well think God is imaginary, but is required for enforcing morality, for otherwise civilisation would be doomed if left to its own devices, consumed by the nihilism and self-hatred that comes with too much freedom of thought. Or so the argument would go, I can imagine.
Yes, this would be the argument for society governed by dictatorship (morality and derivative law from a single source), vs. by democracy.
