17. That is ridiculous
Your argument doesn't make any sense. This has nothing to do with culture. This has to do with the government. There is a massive difference. I have nothing wrong with people being religious and having religion be part of their daily lives. However, I don't want them using the government to force it on me. By having those Ten Commandments in the courthouse he is basically saying that it is a christian courthouse or at least a judeo-christian courthouse and it insults all people that aren't jewish or christian.

The stuff about the founding fathers is just stupid. Just because they referred to God in their private lives doesn't mean they wanted religion to be part of the government. If that were the case than it would mean that every single religious person in the country believes that the ten commandments should be in that courthouse and that certainly isn't the case.

Democrats aren't on the anti-God side, they are on the pro-constitution side. Politically, it actually helps us since most people are pro-constitution and I would even think that most people don't want the ten commandments in a courthouse.
