You have confused two different types of law here
God's law is divine or eternal law, eg ten commandments or beatitudes
Natural Law is law that derives from virtue of being human and moral eg we were never told murder is wrong but by virtue of human morality and instinct we know
mono theological Religions teach divine/eternal law is the highest law
However, in a court of law divine law is not allowed and natural law is supreme to all written law (Positive law)

Does religion still impact law in America today?
The American constitution (which is the backbone of American government) was built on the truths that there is a God and that He is holy and has given man a set of natural laws that should be followed. His natural laws are much different from the natural law that is taught in public schools today. Today, people are desperately trying to build laws without the influence of God (religion), but you really can't without the eventual downfall of your nation. So...the answer to this question is yes and no at the same time.
