The First Amendment guarantees that government will not actively endorse religion in general or favor one faith over another. The same amendment also guarantees an individual’s right to worship as he or she pleases. The Ten Commandments contain both religious and secular directives, including the familiar bans on stealing, killing and adultery.

I don't understand the controversy over the display of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama State Courthouse....Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Christians all agree on these principles of not stealing, killing, and adultery...so why can't they be on display as a reminder? Is "In God We Trust" so bad as a reference to a higher Being?
