So? Yes, there is common content between Judaism, Christianity, and the Quran. It's called the Old Testament.

But what does that have to do with atheist students? Or students whose parents practice Wicca? Or Satanism? Or Hinduism? Buddhism? Taoism? Confucianism? Etc., etc. I think there are over 2,000 distinct religions recognized in the world.

Surely you realize that what this does (if allowed to stand) creates an airtight case for any (or all) of them to be represented in classrooms as well.

The fact that the 10 Commandments is common to at least three religions is part of that argument. "But Principle Schneider, you're already representing three different religions by having that poster up in here. It would be discriminatory to not hang this "Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law" poster up there along side them."

I'm not advocating for this to pass.

just pointing out that the people who think the 10 Commandments are only for Christians is not accurate.

and the 2 religions he specifically mentioned also have those same commandments.

and that will be Louisiana's argument.
that these commandments aren't specific to any one religion, so it's not advocating for any one religion.

they will (and should) still lose once this goes through the courts.
