111. Every society has religious dogma designed to prevent it from collapsing
The 10 commandments are simply another version in an attempt to provide societal cohesion. This is a nation of immigrants from many different countries, and thus, with many different historical perspectives and belief systems. To say

"where the western worlds laws came from? they all originated from those ten commandments."

is to not have a good grasp of history.
