"Judeo-Christianity" is not a religion. The Ten Commandments are not exclusive to one religion, nor does the First Amendment even forbid preferring one religion over another. The same founders who ratified the constitution raised tax money to evangelize natives and said prayers in congress. I think they knew what the First Amendment meant. If we can have a prayer in Congress, then why not in school?

The Alabama Constitution recognizes God's primacy and Judge Moore was simply following that Constitution.

"Judeo-Christianity" is not a religion.

That makes no sense; the Torah is simply a superset of the old testament. Moore said on numerous occasions that he meant Christianity, or Judaism, or Judeo-Christianity. He in fact said that we were a Judeo-Christian nation by law, by the very laws, and the particular translation of the laws, that he erected.

Yes, he does backpedal and try to deny that his words meant what they said when confronted with their final implications, but we can all assume that he thinks our laws are founded on the 10 commandments.

No it does not, and no he wasn't.

In the Alabama constitution, the framers prayed for God's guidance and blessing. That's a far cry from "recognizing God's primacy".

Moore, the huckster, violated the requirement in Alabama's constitution that no preference was to be shown by the government to any religion. Why else did Pryor, the devout Christian attorney general, take him on ? Why else did ALL the Alabama Supreme Court Justices condemn his actions ?

Because Moore's actions were ILLEGAL and in violation of his oath of office. Hence he was rightfully stripped of it.
