Sorry I was thinking more like "insecure about people joining other religions instead of theirs" and "impotent in their power to control others". And as you point out the 10C are a pretty effective way to address those problems.
I'm actually surprised that the 10 commandments didn't include "raise you children to be good Christians" but maybe they assumed that was a given that parents would do that and the "honour your parents" bit makes indoctrination a slam dunk. If the first rule of Abrahamic god club was "Don't talk about the ten commandments" it would never have caught on.
Meanwhile its very notable that tithing and organised religion are nowhere to be seen in the commandments (and for the most part in the entire Bible if I recall). Ergo just more sheep controlling BS to build temples and enrich the few controlling elite in ways a Jesus would turn in his tomb for.
I may not be religious or believe in any God, but I'm sure that if the Jesus of the Bible had a second coming for sure I would be pretty far down the list of people he was going to kick the ass off. There's a huge line of fakers, fraudsters and criminals ahead of me for that.
