No I don’t believed moral rules are contingent on God, I believe their contingent on some some sort of transcendent moral order, some sort of teleological foundation, something like Plato’s conception of the Good, or else nothing is objectively good or bad. Unless you wanted to go down Gae rabbit hole of trying to change the meaning of terms like descriptive and normative, objective and subjective, and call cats dogs.
A platonic conception of reality is theistic, though Vulcan subscribes to such a view of reality but classifies himself as an atheist, it seems because his idea of God is primarily limited to some fundie evangelical view.
So Vulcan subscribes to that same view without appealing to any God. So nothing really to do with God. Great.
And no, Platonism is Platonism. If you want to call it theism, that's your prerogative. But people can reasonably disagree with the label here.
