The statement says congress. Guess the courts can pass as many laws restricting religion as it wants.

It is possible that by having the ten commandments prominently displayed in the courts or other government buildings you could lead to a prohibition and free excercise of other religions. It is a slippery slope. The founders were religious men that realized one must not tie rights and favors to religious beliefs. jb

It’s quite obvious that the free exercise of religion exists in the United States. The thing is there are many religions. Christianity equals the Muslim religion. You cannot put a copy of the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse because the courthouse is the state and the State does not favor one kind of religion over the other. You might as well argue that the Koran be put on display in a courthouse - it’s a protected religion in the States too. Besides putting a copy of the Ten Commandments in a courthouse would offend me - a non-Christian as I think its a load of hooey and I don't want to be judged along those lines.
