Regarding the TC and their relevance in a courthouse, there are only three or four of them that have anything to do with a court of law. Murder and stealing are illegal. Adultery is still illegal in some places. And of course bearing false witness is relevant. The rest of them are strictly religious commandments. Since the Commandments regarding illegal activities are redundant, given that they're in the law, the only unique one is the one about false testimony. Perhaps a reasonable compromise would be to have that one commandment displayed as a reminder to those religious folks who would and do lie under oath? I think an adequate secular basis could be found for that. Would that satisfy you?
