I can understand how this could be a 1A issue, but the 10 commandments is a good guide to follow regardless of one's religious beliefs.

Some of them are. There's no secular reason to tell people to have no gods before God, or to keep the Sabbath holy.

I wonder how many of the legislation's proponents can name the Ten Commandments themselves.

For one thing, Catholics and Protestants have a slightly different list. Normally, I would expect something like this to be pushed entirely by Protestants, but in Louisiana there is probably a lot of Catholic for it too.

The article doesn't say which version is mandated. Presumably either one is fine? I wonder if that will be a flashpoint.
