Here we go again... I thought we've decided this by now. The courts seem to continuously face the issue of displaying religious symbols on public property and whether that violates the 1st Amendment. I don't think any question exists that our public government already has symbols endorsing Judeo-Christian values -- and did so at the writing of the US Constitution. Our Declaration of Independence says, "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator..." The reference here seems equally endorsing of Judeo-Christian values than the Ten Commandments, which serves as the basis for the two major religions -- historically starting with the Jews, then Christians -- and a commonality with another major religion, Islam. While I think it endorse certain values, it does not endorse any single religion. If it endorsed any religion, it would endorse Judaism because the first commandment says, "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me..." which refers directly to the Jewish people.
