Personally, I dont see what everyone is so angry about why the 10 amendments. Its not like the judge was saying, you have to believe in Jesus or in God. Most of the 10 commandments can be found in our laws.
The only two commandments that I can see that also exist in legal form are "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not steal." The rest aren't directly found in American laws.

To continue with 2017law's point -- nobody is saying that all Christians are evil just because of the KKK, Holocaust and the Crusades, and if you read it that way, then . . . sigh. But the fact of the matter is that certain religions have more of a precedent than others for killing in the name of their God. Christianity has struggled with that issue, and now Islam is struggling with it today. Others have as well. Whether or not it's legitimate, Christianity has a reputation for being a religion that persecutes (as does Islam, whereas Judaism has a reputation for being persecuted).
