Your spot on with with family being the atomic unit.
Society is more like a molecule, how families cohese.
Aristole fully acknowledges the necessity of a being of pure actuality to kick start existence, that’s his way of talking about God.
Aquinas bridges Aristotle’s concept of God into Catholic verbiage.
For both, morality is objective, so as God is our creator, he is also the author of morality.
You are correct in understanding that essential connection between God and morality.
Aristole wouldn’t disagree with you. Aquinas would articulate that thought in an easier way for us to understand in modern times.
