If a truth apt statement is the cause of a moral claim, from a god or from us, that would be a cognitivist moral claim.
Is there a metaethical view that doesn't make such blanket statements? I see no reason why it has to be one or the other in such a strict way. Some games have rules that emerge outside of cognition (moral intuitions and biology) and some games have rules that do emerge from reason (legislative rules). And both origins can coexist.
