Well, many of us, (straight Republicans), would point out that there is no such wording in the U.S. Constitution that denotes any separation of Church & State.

In addition, this only applies to the federal government.  States are free to designate a state religion if they choose, though the last one that did was Maryland.

Most state constitutions forbid them from doing anything so anti-American, and the Fourteenth Amendment also imposes the restrictions of the Bill of Rights onto all levels of government.
