The law Daniel defied was one dictating his personal freedom to worship as he believed in his own home.
The law Judge Moore defied was one dictating that NO ONE has the right to use the Govt to impose their religion on others.
Daniel was right.
Judge Moore is wrong.
And the comparison made in this article is a poor one.

No religion was imposed on others.
If so, where is the law that established this one religion, and where is the place everyone is required to sign up?
Daniel was not allowed to pray anyplace. Moore is being told that he is not permitted to acknowledge his own constitution, express his faith in his workplace, nor use his own uniquenesses in performing his job.
Sounds like a similar case to me.
Both are experiencing "prohibiting the FREE EXERCISE thereof."

Typical oath of office for Judge Moore and others:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and truthfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. "
Obiviously in our society, the G-d to whom they swear is allah right?

Please quote this law of which you speak. Because the constitutional language refers only to restrictions on Congress in passing laws relating to religion. It has nothing to do with having a monument to famous set of laws in a government building dedicated to law.
