I find them unimportant. So your fluffy descriptor doesn't help your argument at all. No establishment of religion. Get it through your head, or get sued.The Ten Commandments are attributed to Moses' who is said to have received them from God on Mount Sinai. This is not a Christian scripture but a Jewish one. All or most of the commandments are included in various places in the New Testament but Jesus was teaching them as a Jew teaching Jews. There was no Christian faith at that time.
But the JudeoChristian faith that has evolved from those Old and New Testament times was very much part of the psyche, culture, values, beliefs of the Founding Father as reflected in the Declaration of Independence, the founding documents, the Constitution itself and in most of those who followed them right up to modern day times. To dismiss that influence as non existent or unimportant in the development of what the United States was intended to be and what it has become would be as stupid as throwing out all science and math books.
