Blurring the line separating church and state...
#8
Since most of you probably don't even know them, here they are;

1. Have no other gods before me [the God of the Hebrews].
2. Make no images of anything in heaven, earth or the sea, and do not worship or labor for them.
3. Do not vainly use the name of your God [the God of the Hebrews].
4. Do no work on the seventh day of the week.
5. Honor your parents.
6. Do not kill.
7. Do not commit adultery.
8. Do not steal.
9. Do not give false testimony against another.
10. Do not desire another's wife or anything that belongs to another.

If you get rid of #1 and #2 and possibly #10, the rest are all laws in this country. Should all these laws be eliminated, because they were religious laws before they were man's law? If you are an atheist, do you still have to abide by these laws? If so, atheists could lie, cheat, steal, and kill without repercussions. The separation of church and state simply meant, NO Official State sanctioned religion. By the way there are several versions of the 10 commandments, so exactly which religion do they sanction? God is in, or on, several official government documents. Look in your wallet, it's on your money. Just so you know the 10 Commandments are in the Supreme Court of The United States. Displayed for all to see. The Supreme Court also starts each session with a prayer. This whole thing is much ado about nothing.
