One of the problem with thinking on the 10 Commandments monument is that a substantial number of people who *think* they support separation of church and state see the 10 Commandments as some sort of pan-ethnic code of conduct. Sort of an icon of the rules societies need if they're to work at all.
These people can't back up far enough from their own Christian upbringing to see how foreign most of the Commandments look to anyone without a Christian upbringing. Or someone who doesn't believe in a higher power at all.
