What you're missing here, is that the selfsame 10 commandments icon (dare I call it a graven image?) is a sign of hostility and hate to secularists. Allowing that statue in a public space and excluding others from that same space is an affront to secularism.
When you fully understand why you are uncomfortable with a Satanist display *and* have sufficient empathy for people who hold very different things "sacred" than you, you'll get it.
