No. What it means is that it is restoring Natural Law, as stated in the
constitution, created by who or whatever you believe caused the
universe, as an abstraction of the laws of physics, chemistry, biology,
and evolution (as I happen to believe) or you can short-cut it all and
say "God", "Ghu", "Uberhacker", "Metasysop", "The Great Gamer", etc.
has embedded objective truth in the universe.

This law restores Natural Law to its proper place as the only basis of
our Constitution, of Common Law, Equity Law, etc as the framers so
frequently stated. This quoted section specifically is saying that the
Court cannot reverse the actions of an officer or agency of the federal
government on the basis that the officer or agency based its actions in
Natural Law. It does not say that the officer or agency HAS to base its
actions on the will of God, or even that they may or must do so.

Those who believe that all rights are negotiated and have no concrete
or objective basis in truth will repell at this law. The subjectivists,
the revisionists, those who legislate from the bench, the moral
relativists, and other apologists and equivocators who have been
seeking to tear down the US Constitution for the last century or so
will hate this law, will lie about this law, and will try to claim that
it is what it is not.
