Yes, wouldn't you be just a bit distressed to walk into a courtroom with a sign proclaiming that 'thou shalt have no other gods before me'? If you were anything but a christian (and to be more specific, a christian who acknowledges that particular set of commandments) I think you would be.
Founders intentions aside, show me how or why adding religion in any form to our government improves its ability to execute the will of the people. History suggests that we are asking for trouble for no perceivable gain.
