Your question landed in two categories centered on Jewish thought and practice,

so here's the answer from a Jewish perspective:

The so-called "Ten Commandments" are ten out of a total of 613 commandments

that Judaism recognizes in the Torah, that Jews are responsible and accountable for.

The attitude of Judaism is that there's no way that we can know or understand how

to prioritize them. We have no idea of which ones are more important and which ones

are less important. There's no way for anybody to take the list in terms of importance,

draw a line across it somewhere, and say "I'll keep the commandments down to here,

but the rest are for people who are more religious than I am."

We have commandments to honor our parents, pay our employees on time, avoid

eating non-kosher food, help the guy whose donkey sank to its knees when the

load got too heavy for it, observe the sabbath, teach our children, give our dogs

the meat that we can't eat, avoid murdering and stealing, and send the mother

bird away before we take eggs from the nest. And nobody knows which one of

these is more important than any of the others.
