My intent in stating "the wrong side of them" was not in relation to a religion but in relation to the content of those commandments which define issues that may bring someone into court. That would be violating our current laws which have been inpart defined by those commandments.
The first half of the Commandments are not our laws and can never be our laws.
That's half of them. And the second half of them are our laws not because they are in the bible but solely because they deal with actions which are infringements of the rights of others.
In that context, I cannot see how the Commandments are said to be the basis of our laws.
