"society has moved past divine laws" are you sure? I would say, at least in the US, the ostensibly secular corpus of laws embodies an awful lot of divine law elements, from the wrath towards the "guilty" to an appeal towards a transcendental (the constitution), really the apostles character of the founding fathers should not be dismissed, nor the sacrificial ritual the US is founded on, even the military is part of that new church, evangelizing or forcing transcendence on their enemies' bodies
That's a fair point, but that's not the ideology which is running everything. The weird regression of american society into an earlier form of morality and divine law is a tool of neoliberalism in my opinion, not just a lone phenomena. And neoliberalism is very much motivated by a dead god.
