Even in Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists, the phrase was “a wall of separation between church and state”, which is not the same thing as separation of church and state. The notion of such separation appeared in the USSR’s constitution:

In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the USSR is separated from the state, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.

— 1936 “Stalin” constitution, Article 124

Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.

In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.

— 1977 “Brezhnev” constitution, Article 52

So anyone who pushes “separation of church and state” is pushing the old Soviet system.

“A real constitutional expert — or any first-year law student — knows that selling candy canes at Christmas is perfectly legal,”

Candy canes are “Jesus-themed” candies???
