Are the Ten Commandments as generic as "In God We Trust" or are they specific to a particular religion?

The Lord thy God it mentions says you can have no other gods before Him. Sounds like He's quite adamant that He's the deity and all others are imitations.

He's also not fond of those who make "graven images" and fail to honor the "sabbath". Atheists/agnostics aside, I can think of a couple religions that don't pass muster. Therefore, none of the government's business.
