Yeah, I ultimately agree. Natural Law Theory is ultimately another Enlightenment derived gateway back toward our “natural”apostasy. An incremental step toward blotting out the true God from the public square as the Source (Creator & Sustainer) of all things. Van Til saw these things clearly. To try to retain something that’s already been lost and never was truly there (outside of God’s restraining hand) is a pretty foolhardy enterprise (as far as the catholic/reformed natural law/theology projects). It’s why the world of politics, like the world itself, is so lost…. Neutrality is definitely a myth. Hostility is the norm.
