re: Bill requiring Louisiana public schools to display the Ten Commandments passes House

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.

That argument will fall flat on its face.

The First Amendment prohibits Congress from making a law respecting an establishment of religion, period. Even though the tenets of the Ten Commandments can be found in more than one religious text, the fact that religion is established AT ALL (regardless of which religion the Ten Commandments is associated with) is what is unconstitutional.

... and you are correct. They will lose once this goes through the courts.
