While it is not the oldest legal tradition (Hammurabi having that title), I would say the Torah has certainly withstood the test of time better and longer than any other legal tradition. And, it is quite fundamental to the legal tradition of the Judeo-Christian world of course.
I'd be fine with Wiccan quotes or Pagan quotes. Technically, Ghandi was a heathen, and I think a marble-ized Ghandi quote would be acceptable in a USA courtroom.
This would not be such a problem if the culture didn't elevate the Bible quotes. If they were seen in public display (not in homes -- religion can rule there of course) to be presented equivalently to other quotes coming from the great cannon of man's great thoughts, they would not be religiously offensive, would they?
