The duty of lawful de jure government is to provide a framework to protect its citizens against aggression, both from within and without.The principles were used as a model.
Looking at the "thou shalt not" parts of the 10 Commandments, I see nothing in there which isn't an act of aggression against one's neighbor.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by your last sentence.
Problem being right now is that since the onset of the progressive era, gubmint itself has become the greatest aggressor.

No where in the Declaration of Independence or Constitution does it mention Jesus Christ, the basis of Christianity. The founding fathers recognized a generic "God" but went to great lengths to avoid endorsing any one religion
The ten commandments have very little to do with the principles of freedom.
But the founding fathers all agreed freedom is a Christian tenet, and that freedom emanates from God.
The Revolution was fought to free us from a Christian nation that did NOT separate Church and State.

Ah yes, and that is the real question. Traditional Americans and "Progressives" disagree on what exactly is meant by "separation of church and state". This is where the argument lies. "Progressives" are continually seeking methods to make Christianity invisible.
The principles were used as a model.I agree that America was not founded on Christianity. BUT, it was founded upon Christian/Judeo biblical principles.
You have to really focus on what the Christian haters say and how they say it. They are always thinking of ways to undermine the truth about the USA when it comes to Christianity. Christianity is the enemy.

How does one make a religion invisible? Is it a governments job to make religions visible?
Shouldn't they do that on their own?

What's ironic is that many American slaves turned to evangelical Christianity for sustenance in the 19th century.
So what's your point?

That freedom, in any world existing outside of the head of Hobbes, isn't handed down by gods, it exists in the context of the society at hand and the elites at the helm of that society. By modern standards, the Founders had a very narrow conception of freedom, in that it allowed slavery (which one might normally think to be the antithesis of freedom) and institutionalized misogyny. They were (brilliant) products of their time and society, not messengers from the gods.

The founders did not address slavery because that was not the agenda. Forging a nation was the agenda. They were founding a nation of free men and thereby sowing the seeds that eventually ended the national nightmare of slavery.

Engraved on the top of the Washington Monument is the phrase "Laus Deo." It was purposely placed in this position to face the heavens. The translation is "Praise be to God."
