Not to mention leftist:
"The Founding Fathers wrote the separation of church and state into the US Constitution "
There is no such thing in the Constitution or any of the founding documents.

You ignore the clear intent of the 1st amendment, as it was argued for in 1789, and the even clearer 'no religious test' for office provision of Article VI..
But you know this, having done it before. It's an agit-prop tactic [invented by leftists], to insist upon repeating such flat out errors of constitutional fact. -- How can you argue against your own religious freedom from a state religion? Why would you want a state favored religion?

"The Honorable Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable Supreme Court of the United States are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is now sitting. God save the United States and this Honorable Court!"
