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

It's funny, because there are statutes against theft, perjury, and murder, but none of these words are located anywhere within the Ten Commandments. 
Also, there is no criminal statute that exists on record within the state of Louisiana that provides the following definitions:
Though shall not steal.
Though shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Though shall not kill.
If your argument is that the development of criminal law was influenced by Judeo Christian values, I'd agree with you (to an extent), but you're being deliberately obtuse, and trying to place influence in the development of criminal statutes (as state law) by Judeo Christian customs and law, with the promulgation of state law requiring inclusion of religious text in public schools.
Apple, meet orange.

They are violations of private property rights individual from religion. Religions also outlaw those things because, well, duh. Every society must outlaw, to some extent, lying, theft, and murder. To pretend that is all that is in the 10 Commandments or that non Abrahamic societies do not share those basic principles is intellectually dishonest.
