You misunderstand me fairly severely. I did not say that the state enforces “moral law”, or anything even close to that.
I said that the state maintains that it is moral for it to enforce law at all. Because generally speaking, it is not considered moral to unilaterally compel people, with violence if necessary, to behave in ways they do not agree to, and to not believe they should have to.
