But there's more than than the Christian religion.. The ten commandments is also presented in Judaism, not only Christianity. If they want more religions in there, then add more religious symols and statues; don't remove them, because that states that America is a melting-pot of atheism. AMEN!

Because it doesn’t belong, period. No problem at all with them practicing their religion in their personal lives or in their churches, but I for one want their "faith" out of my government and anything else I have to pay for. Saying so is not an attack on their beliefs. It is a response to their over arching attack on mine Did you know 76% of America supports having the 10 Commandments in a Court Room? Besides, no is forcing you to practice your religion. This is becoming a Communist Nation-where no religion can be represented in public. Thanks guys for supporting me. It seems only the Mods are against me on this one. But that is representing one religion over the others in a free country. In a courtroom there should not be just Christian commandments, its better to have none at all to represent equality.

A religion is its own branch, SEPARATE from country affairs. Why do you think we had the middle ages? Because the Church did what it did.

2) Incorrect. The judical branch interprets the laws. Therefore what they're "enforcing" is in fact Freedom of Religion and not Freedom from Religion. And actually, this country wasn't founded on Christian values. The majority of the founding fathers weren't of any particular faith. Last time I checked... they were. Correct. They were protestant—the reason they came from England in the first place.

But there's more than than the Christian religion.. The country was built on Judeo-Christain Values, why shouldn't we be proud of that fact? Tell me which of the 10 Commandents offends you.I suppose some people want the neighbours donkeys?

If they want more religions in there, then add more religious symols and statues; don't remove them, because that states that America is a melting-pot of atheism. No it doesn't. Removing them states that America is a country that promotes freedom. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Atheism. And adding more symbols would still cause problems because there are so many different religions out there. Last time I checked... they were. Then you must not have checked. Learn what the difference between the Christain Church and the Catholic Church before commenting on it. Here's the difference: all Catholic Churches are Christian, but not all Christian Churches are Catholic. And anyway, not all of the churches during the Middle Ages were Catholic and not once did Woop mention the Catholic Church.

Since there are only 3 Monotheistic Religions... Im guessing the rest dont. Want to hear something interesting. Most religions have Jesus as an important person, divine being etc. I think thats quite fascinating.

It's offensive because it's pretty much saying:
"If you're not Christian or Jewish, screw you."
