Nobody cares what you believe until you can write like an adult, not a kindergardener.
Okay first opinion, you don't know shit about the "founding fathers" or the Constitution. Second opinion, you are full of shit if you think our society would crumble without being controlled by the Judeo-Christian religion!
Commandments we do make reference to in our code of law: Theft, Perjury, Murder.
It would make for an interesting exhibit, but for the most part the United States works from a common law tradition, which is diametrically opposite the theocratic jurisprudence of Abrahamic religion. Funky pre-Christian pagan tradition, yes, but it serves us well, and we can still codify what isn't covered by precedent.

Sadly, that's not the case.
Several cities and counties within the U.S. have local ordinances (not all of which are enforced) requiring shops to be closed before noon on Sundays and making blasphemy a criminal act.
And, yes, some states even have laws against adultery.
@James:
First, learn to spell, second, once you´ve learnt, you can debate whether a country which has a first ammendment like this can say that a confession has priviledges.
Hey, Gang!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
