Abstract: After 18 years of debate, sparked by Former Chief Justice Roy Moore, a final decision has been made by the residents of Alabama allowing the Ten Commandments to be displayed on state and public property. I employ the median voter model with numerous datasets to analyse which special interest groups are the driving force for yes votes. I find both females and veterans support the passing, while those with higher education and Catholic-affiliated groups oppose. Black Protestant affiliation has an inconclusive-muted effect when considering robust controls.
