There is no such thing as a constitutional requirement for separation of church and state.

There is freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

I believe the term “separation of church and state” was first used by Thomas Jefferson in the early 1800’s in a letter he answered to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut. This Baptist group had originally written Jefferson and asked him if they were free to practice their religion in the new American Republic.

These people have too much time on their hands. Someone needs to tell them to get a life.
