The 10 Commandments do not form a religion. The are the LAWS set down for a people, who adopted the jewish religion not christians alone.
Just being included in the bible doesn't make it religious. If you think so, please explain to me exactly what the book of "numbers" has to do with religion?

Laws given to Moses by God is how the story goes, correct? If thats not religious I dont know what is.
I refered to the book of shadows metaphoricly, Im a metaphoric kinda guy,
Witches have few "moral" codes, only one really and it is more of an ethic or a rede than a moral.
The Witch's rede is:
As long as it harms none, do as thou will.
Also, Witches have what is called the three-fold law. It is based on the idea of Karma, except that your actions rebound to you three fold. Do good and get 3 times good back, do evil and get 3 times evil back.
