> Both that monument and the Declaration have zero authority in our government or system of laws.

And yet we enshrine them and make monuments out of them. Why would that be if they have zero relevance to our way of life and our nation's ideals, even if we haven't perfectly followed them in history? Why shouldn't we continue to reference them when we decide what to do going forward?

We're talking about morality in the US here. >62% of Americans say they're Christian. Citing the bible in discussions about morality in the US seems pretty relevant to me. Can you tell me how its not?

I also gave additional arguments and points unrelated to ancient texts, but you're not bothering to respond to those. What a joke.
