It appears your problem is with Roy Moore and not with a piece of rock. Would you feel uncomfortable being tried by a bunch of citizens of Alabama?

If I put up a rock in the Alabama Supreme Court building with the Ten Commandments and some quotes from MLK, Jr., and some quotes from Blackstone, and a few from the founding fathers on it, BUT I didn't say anything about my faith when I put it up, would that be an establishment of religion??????????

I dunno. But Moore was asked to do something like that, and refused. He also, through his own words to the Federal Judge, made it clear that this was a religious monument.

If it were purely secular, surrounded by other secular displays, and the judge said it was secular, then it would be hard to argue it was religious.
