What the founding fathers did not want was a Church of America, ... That's why they put in the constitution that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of any religion.
Agreed.
That doesn't translate into "take the commandments out of the courthouse" in my view.
Can you show where it translates into putting the commandments into the courthouse?
Please cite the applicable article of the constitution. Perhaps Article VI?
... but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Enjoy.
