Our founding fathers had a very good reason to separate church from state in our founding documents.

That was done from bad experiences learned prior to our form of government being established.

Where, specifically, is that concept of “separation of church and state” discussed in the founding documents?

“Our founding fathers had a very good reason to separate church from state in our founding documents.”

Our Founders acknowledged Christianity when they wrote the Constitution and dated it “in the year of our Lord”. Christianity was so much the warp and woof of their thoughts and the nation’s thoughts that it was taken for granted. It did not need to be spelled out.

ARTICLE XI:
You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, sorry if you are uncomfortable with it.

I found that, of all places, on your profile page. I take it you haven't updated it in a while.
