The problem with the 10 Commandments is that they're written in negative language, and I think that could actually cause the unintended consequence of the unconscious mind discarding the negatives and interpreting them as "kill," "steal," "adultery," "bear false witness," and "covet."
I can get on board with "Be sure to take time off and get some rest at least once a week," "Support your family," "Protect life," "Respect others' possessions," "Be faithful to your partner," "Speak the truth," and "Enjoy what you have." The ones regarding worship, though, definitely aren't needed if you don't believe there's anything to worship.
