...I sense you’re belittling....

That certainly isn't my intention, but rather to answer the question of just how relevant the 10 Commandments are in a (largely) secular society.

Actually the 10 can be shortened to:

“And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

The funny thing about Christ is that he didn’t didn’t talk about religion, and he didn’t talk about living a good life or how to get closer to God. He pointed to HIMSELF as the means to God - “The Father and I are ONE ... No one gets to the Father except through ME...”

Whether or not secular society accepts this as true is irrelevant: “...at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord”.
