Having the ten commandments in marble in front of a courthouse is an explicit promotion of a singular religious viewpoint upon governtment property that is supposed to bring the people impartial justice.
"thous shalt have no other gods before me" isn't in the constitution. And it should not be anywhere near a place that is supposed to be a center for impartial judgment.

I don't mean to be rude. The arguments you posed have heart. The courts agree. I still don't, and your reasoning is too easily ridiculed.
