A better question - Do American citizens of the Hindu faith have a Constitutional, 1st Amendment right to freely exercise their religion? What about Buddhists? Taoists?

If you follow Moore's words, the answer is no. There ain't nothing American about that.

Moore's comments were not on trial here, just a monument in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court.

Please demonstrate to me how having a monument to the Ten Commandments in a state courthouse restricts the respective rights to worship of those religions. Maybe they're worried that bolts of lightning will come from it (like the climatic scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark) and burn down their houses of worship?

Of course they have the right.

Of course not.
