Um...that runs completely, 100% counter to the intentions of the founding fathers. At least you KNOW you sound like an uneducated redneck

Bullpucky. Most of the founding fathers were deists, not Christians, and masses of people who came here in the first place were escaping religious repression in other countries. It wasn't just that they were not free to practice thier religion, it was that religion was established by the state, and religious dissent was considered political dissent.

The 10 commandments are religious based.

Nobody's disputing that - in fact, that's the reason why they are being challenged as displays on public property.

I find it ignorant how so many people dismiss principles, values or morals that were originated by Christians as invalid or inferior.

Nobody's dismissing the
principles themselves as invalid. I think you're kind of missing the point of the argument in your rush to climb up on your high horse.
