Ten Commandments, is it really religious?

Isn’t it funny that these commandments:

1. Have no other gods before me [the God of the Hebrews].
2. Make no images of anything in heaven, earth or the sea, and do not worship or labor for them.
3. Do not vainly use the name of your God [the God of the Hebrews].
4. Do no work on the seventh day of the week.
5. Honor your parents.
6. Do not kill.
7. Do not commit adultery.
8. Do not steal.
9. Do not give false testimony against another.
10. Do not desire another's wife or anything that belongs to another.

consistently come under attack by people. I’m not just talking Liberals…although they are the ones that shout out the most about this topic…but people in general think that we have something called Separation of Church and State. Where in the Constitution does it mention that there is separation of church and state? It is a long-time tradition of our founding fathers to uphold religious liberty (through separation of church and state) and for the federal government to not aid religion. This is why I have no problems displaying the ten commandments at a Texas courthouse but not in favor of Bush’s faith-based initiative. Our founding fathers saw the corruption and how government was like under a religious monarchy, they new that when the government and religion were intertwined that religous jihad (i.e. the Crusades) could result. If we really wanted to track the root of the separation of church and state we need to read up on Anne Hutchinson.
