Removal of the monument does not violate anyone's freedom of religion. They can still believe in the 10 commandments, they can carry a personal copy, they can have the commandments prominantly displayed in their homes and places of worship. It cannot be displayed in a public place.
"It cannot be displayed in a public place."?
You cannot paint them on a barn, nor on a canvas made of yarn. You cannot nail them to a tree you cannot set them by the sea.
You cannot put them near a lake, nor in your front yard on a stake.
Ahh I'm done. Play with it as you will.
