There is no such thing as the "separation of church and state." Who even invented that phrase? This issue is addressed in Amendment I of the Constitution as follows:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..."

If one reads those words carefully, one would have to be a leftist, communist, member of the elite media, or ignorant (excuse all the redundancies), to fabricate the concept of the "separation of church and state" from those words. It simply says that the goverment cannot, by law, establish a religion, nor can it prohibit the expression or excercise of a religion by any individual(s).

I suggest that you study the writing of the founders of this country. Study the history of the people who came here. Study the history of the first colonists who came looking for religious freedom and wasted no time persecuting people of different faiths. There is a long and bloody history of religious oppression that supports a clear separation of Church and State.

A man by the name of Thomas Jefferson.
