Ten commandments in a courthouse is one of the worst ones! If there is any part of the system that needs to be completely secular it's the justice system. Half of the commandments are about how you must worship the Abrahamic God and no other (even going into details like how he will punish the great grandchildren of unbelievers), those are not good things to have said in a courthouse.

The Ten commandments are in courthouses, not as a show of faith, but as the most well know system of ancient laws. That's like saying museuems shouldn't have pictures of Jesus, or sculptures of the Egyptian gods.

That is a ridiculous analogy. Muesems are made to showcase history, which includes many religions.

Courthouses are meant to deal in secular law, which should not involve religious commandments from any religion.
