What's wrong with the Ten Commandments? Well, nothing, really. They're good rules to follow. But it seems a little stupid to venerate them above all other ethical standards.
It's not an attack on "all Religion." Christians, Jews, Muslims, and followers of Baha'i could possibly construe it as an attack on their way of life, but America isn't totally comprised of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and followers of Baha'i.
As for the tradition/foundation argument - well, there are times when traditions need to be jettisoned for the sake of progress. See also: women and the right to vote, blacks and the right to vote, interracial marriage, and (still ongoing) homosexual marriage.
