That no religion shall be established by law; that no preference shall be given by law to any religious sect, society, denomination, or mode of worship.

Lets look at this a little more closely.

The ten commandments is a founding principle for our law and the christian religion. Judge more didn't establish christianity by law, it existed before the United States came into being.

Christianity is not a religous sect; a sect is A group of people forming a distinct unit within a larger group by virtue of certain refinements or distinctions of belief or practice. So a sect would be a smaller group within the christian religion, and we have already ascertain the christianity is a religion and has not been established by law in Judge Moores case and he did not give preference to a particular sect of the christian religion.

The ten commandments is a principle for all christianity and not a denomination, which is A large group of religious congregations united under a common faith and name and organized under a single administrative and legal hierarchy. Judge Moore did not give preference to a denomination of the christian religion.

By placing the ten commandments in the courthouse, the judge did not give preference to a mode of worship, the statue was not placed there to be worshipped, and no services of worship were conducted at the courthouse. He did not force anyone to pay tithe to the monumnet, or taxes to the monument or pay a rate for repairing the monument, or pay for maintaining a ministry to the monument, or require that anyone take a religious test in reference to the monument and the capacities of any citizens have not been affected by the monument.
