No, but there are tons of people who believe something is moral as long as it’s legal, and even more people who believe something being illegal makes it inherently immoral.
The claim that some things are inherently wrong and illegal without written laws and that we intrinsically know such. Although it doesn’t anymore, the US traditionally has followed such a view, hence why the bill of rights says men “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights”, because it’s not what prohibits restrictions on free speech, gun bans, troop quartering, unreasonable searches and seizures, etc. It says those are inherently wrong and illegal regardless of what the written law saw.
Nobody has ever claimed laws are purely for morality.

Then what is natural law theory?
