No, laws are not meant to enforce morality either. I addressed this in a video I did before:

Keep it fresh, write it out, I don't want to watch a 10 minute video. Unless you actually can't for whatever reason.

What are laws if not an enforcement of morality? It seems to me like that's exactly what they are, can't imagine why you would disagree.
