I was under the impression that the 10-commandments monument was done to spite all non Christians
1)  doesn't apply to non Christians / implies there are other gods / no matching law
2)  doesn't apply to non Christians / farcical (who does this?) / no matching law
3)  doesn't apply to non Christians / every Christian breaks this one / no matching law  
4)  doesn't apply to non Christians / seems to only apply to Chick-Fil-A & Hobby Lobby / no matching law
5)  Honor your parents / no matching law
6)  Don't Kill People / We have a winner!
7)  Adultery / there's a law for that
8)  Don't take what's not yours / there's a law for that
9)  Prejury / there's a law for that
10) thought crimes / no law... greed drives the economy

So, of the 10 commandments, 4 match up with laws.
Conspicuously absent from the commandments: "Thow shall not enslave your fellow humans "


There are more than 4 that match up to laws....

§21-904.  Profane swearing.
Profane swearing consists in any use of the name of God, or Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost, either in imprecating divine vengeance upon the utterer, or any other person, or in light, trifling or irreverent speech.
R.L.1910, § 2401.

And as for respect the sabbath, wasn't that taken care of by Oklahoma blue laws?    
ie. liquor sales on sunday (Article 28, section 6) or Car Sales on Sunday (Title 21 section 917-919)
