c0d3h4x0r's Journal: Ten Commandments, "In God We Trust", etc

The Ten Commandments should never be displayed on government premises or displayed in government buildings, period. They are a chunk of religious dogma specifically tied to Judeo-Christian religions and they therefore have no business being displayed by the government which is supposed to equally protect and respect the views of all citizens.

Likewise, the phrase "In God We Trust" should be stricken from all currency or other government signage (emblems, seals, etc). Again, the phrase is specifically tied to Judeo-Christian religions and it therefore has no business being promoted by the government which is supposed to respect the views of all citizens.

Are these really important issues? No, they are trivialities. Do they offend me greatly or cause me great hassle or strife? No, of course not, they are just mild annoyances. But are they violations of the basic principles of civil rights and equality? Absolutely.

"But our country was founded on Judeo-Christian value and religion!", I can already hear some moron crying. Well, not only is that not an indisputable fact (it is entirely debatable via a variety of well-reasoned arguments and proven facts), but even if it were an indisputable fact, it would still not be an excuse for persisting government-endorsed discrimination and prejudice.
