not all religions have the 10 commandments. the USA use to have them set up all over the place and the government took them down. they are a reminder of how we should live our lives daily. we use to have Bible study in school before classes started for the day. Plus we have In God We Trust on our money, we use to be a God fearing nation, not any more and look at what it has gotten us to. we have religious freedom in this country where Christians were not allowed to be persecuted, as where Christians were being imprisoned in other countries.
sorry if i'm missing your point, it's been a while.
Ok, other than the First Commandment about having no other gods before him, how are the 10 Commandments exclusive to Christianity?
All the other stuff about not killing people, not stealing, not being greedy, not committing adultery, respect your parents, etc...
How are those exclusive to Christianity? And again, how was the country founded on this?

Religious freedom doesn't only pertain to Christians. And we also have freedom from religion, where we can't be forced to practice a religion and where the government isn't supposed to show favoritism to any one religion (though that part is routinely ignored).

It might help to go back and reread the conversation.
