Three central concepts were derived from the 1st Amendment which became America's doctrine for church-state separation: no coercion in religious matters, no expectation to support a religion against one's will, and religious liberty encompasses all religions.
This was before we moved Afghanistan into Minnesota, and also it applies to the federal government.
The Supreme Court has ruled that everything that the federal government rules is applied to the states as well. That needs to go away. The states and their people are the sovereigns, not the federal government.
The constitution itself was drawn from the Bible. To say that the Ten Commandments can’t be posted in a school because it endorses a religion is to say that the constitution should overturn itself.
Let’s step away from the religious iconography.
There is no part of the Ten Commandments that law disagrees with.
do not lie
do not steal
do not murder
do not bear false witness (including, as in before a court)
honor your father and mother (the definition of patriotism and loyalty)
do not covet
That leaves the commandments toward God
no other Gods before me
do not make graven images or worship them (we are actually seeing this as a problem in society today)
do not take The Lord’s Name in vain (this is likely done less than people think)

That leaves the commandments toward God
That’s not precisely highly controversial.
