_____It’s not about believing in...It’s just such an Historical notice in our History and it does NOT establish a religion.____

So you post a moral code of conduct for the sake of History? Just seeking clarification. Thank you.

>>So you post a moral code of conduct for the sake of History?

Would you avoid teaching about the Code of Hammurabi, or the Twelve Tables of Rome? Those are also moral codes of conduct. You can’t separate morals from civilization, and specifically, you can not separate Christian morals from Western Civilization. Even atheists should be familiar with the Bible for the cultural references and allegories.

Western civilization law is based on the ten commandments and biblical law, much modified over time.

Concepts such as “Do not murder”, “Do not give false testimony”, “Do not steal”, are not universal concepts.

A great many religions do not have a problem with murdering, stealing, or lying in court.

The Ten Commandments are prominent in both Judaism and hundreds of derivative religions, but not in Islam, as I recall.
