Note the term public here implies publically funded buildings and schools.
You have the right to display the Ten Commandments on private property like your homes and churched.

Because they want to force their beliefs on everyone else. Just look at the president. He has completely erased the seperation of church and state and is attempting to dictate and rule the country according to his own personnal religious beliefs. Its actually a very sad state.

To Christians, efforts to remove public displays of the Ten Commandments are deny our countries Christian heritage and further evidence of governmental hostility Christianity. Often the efforts to remove public displays of even the most innocent of religious systems are the subject of lawsuits brought by atheists or the ACLU.
The question is where will we draw the line on political correctness. Our children no longer have Christmas and Easter Vacation...they are winter and spring breaks. Christmas parades are now call holiday parades because the term is more inclusive. People have filed lawsuits to remove "God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and "In God We Trust" from our money.
To Christians, it is a question of what will happen next. Do we remove the Declaration of Independence from public display because it discusses God? It sounds silly, but so does a lawsuit about remove In God We Trust from money and that happened.

Because not allowing it to be displayed is a violation of the first amendment. If the courts can trample part of the first amendment they just might trample the rest of it. Besides no one should be afraid of words on a wall. And no one should be denied the right to see those word simply because some one else doesn't want to see them. Let those that don't want to see the words on the wall look the other way.

Because they have their rights as well as everyone else, and by not allowing it is denying them those rights. I was raised in a christian home, though I don't go to church and haven't for years I still believe in the christian religion, and always will. And when I decide to go back to church that is where I will return going. I don't go for my own personal reasons that I don't believe that anyone should be a hypocrite. I sure don't want to be one.

We Christian's want everyone to be able to see what brought this country into being. When it started the people came from England so that they could worship the Lord and not be told they could not do that. Back then you did what the country wanted or else.
