"But they would have no case if Moore agreed to include the Hammarabic code, and Solon, and Confucius in his display."

Just what the h*ll do ANY of these belief systems have to do with American law, tradition, and heritage??

American law mostly came from English Law, but where did English Law come from? I can see where Confucian philosophy probably had little to do with the development of English Law, but the foundations of all of Western law weren't made up of whole cloth from Christianity. They go back further into pre-Christian western civilizations; Rome, Athens, and the Middle East. Christianity built on those.
