He told us that it was normally associated with theism but tried to present arguments for it that work regardless of God's existence. IMO, It's not the most compelling moral theory (it has problems like any other), but it has its merits.
Natural law doesn't make sense without the concept of 'final cause'. I personally think that is very difficult to justify 'final cause' without appealing to the Divine. I am open to being shown otherwise however.
