Dissent

This sounds familiar: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Oh, that's right, it's the Constitution of the United States of America, which defines a rigid separation of church and state. \nExhibiting a monument of the Ten Commandments outside the Indiana Statehouse will give the wrong impression to those of other faiths -that the Chrisitan dogma supercedes all other world religions and credence, even those in the United States. A state supported dominance of the Christian religion on the Statehouse lawn can intimidate others from monumenting theirs at the expense of turning the capitol lawn into a cluttered mess. America is not a competition of religious will. Many other religions feel it is wrong to impose their beliefs upon others. This shouldn't be used as a defense as to why they choose not to display their faith.
