40. And furthermore...
Secular Humanism doesn't own the public square, either. This isn't an anti-religious government, it's an areligious one. I can no more place something in a courthouse that states "There is no God," than they can post the 10 Commandments.

And if he tries to give the you crap that our laws are based on the 10 Commandments, tell him that's tripe. There's no law against graven images, none that commands people to honor their mothers and fathers. We're free to covet it we want. The only overlap is laws against murder. Even bearing false witness is okay unless you do it under oath. If you really want to see his head spin, tell him Roy Moore's statue is a graven image and in violation of one of the commandments.
