Considering the universality of the moral law, I wonder what "secular" (finite, contingent, man-made) thing can serve as the basis for moral law.

Indeed. It seems to me they would have a real problem arguing against equal rights for animals, pedophilia, bestiality, infanticide, etc. - or conversely, in favor of personal responsibility.

To say that the moral law is "whatever I say it is," and one person's moral law is just as good as the other guy's ("different strokes for different folks"), is tantamount to saying there is no moral law. Period. All becomes "relative" to the needs and desires of my ego....

You cannot have a just, secure society premised on such a shaky basis.... FWIW
