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.

Which, it doesn't.  The Ten Commandments and other things, such as "Scales of Justice"  sculptures are purely decorational for historical reasons.

Again.  Nobody would care if Hamurabi's code was there, despite it's mentioning of god.

It's only recent that laws and religion weren't intertwined.

I mean hell little known fact... that blindfolded woman holding  up the scales of Justice?  Themis.  The titan from Greek Myth.

You don't look at those statues and claim it's promoting the greek religion.
