Proponents of Traditional Natural Law argue that law is based on universal moral values and is not contingent upon time, location and culture. Natural law theorists, therefore, must believe in some God and have some religion. Let's take Christianity for example. Christians believe that God created man and His own set of laws, the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are very much based on moral values. Let's face it, religions are based on morals. Some religions have slightly different beliefs on what constitutes proper morals but I doubt many would argue that religions disagree over the most serious moral offenses (i.e. murder, as discussed in Jim Molnar's post).
The universal moral values that Traditional Natural law believes are most certainly based off of religion. Religion has been around as long as humans. Humans naturally believe that there must be some "higher power" or "creator." I do believe that Traditional Natural law theorists should use religion as evidence to support their claim. However, this would cause a problem if it was somehow proven that there is no God. If that would happen, the universal moral values would mean nothing as they would be man made. I doubt anything to this magnitude would ever happen but many people do question religion and moral values and their relationship to law.
