To: Gargantua
Being that Judeo-Christian principles such as the 10 Commandments were foundational in the development of our Constitution and judicial system, they do have Historical significance as well as religious significance. For this reason, I do not see them as in violation of the dis-establishment clause. (Trying to use it to disestablish Christianity in the US)
