Somehow, however, I don't think the advocates of posting the 10 Commandments in government court buildings really buy into this argument.

The decorous behavior of persons in public, in the past, was largely governed by said 10 Commandments. In the past, posting them wasn't necessary because they were inculcated from a very young age in nearly everyone.

I hear a lot of people say that, but I have to wonder if it is entirely accurate, given the nature of the 1st Commandment.

Did 'polite society' really expect non-Christians to hide their faith?
