Things like dont kill, dont steal, dont commit adultery, honor your mother and father shouldnt threaten people. Even if you were to look at it constitutionally, the bill of rights says no establishment of religion. It didnt exclude religion from government. It said no specific religion can be established. And on a practical note, why are liberals always afraid of something as small as a bible verse or the ten commandments?
And to sipsake i say this, Jefferson was not a christian. If you read in history he was what was known as a deist. Deists believe that god created the earth but God is now indifferent and doesnt work at all today.
