The separation between church and state has become a bit skewed. It means that the state and church will not become one. It means that the church cannot dictate or interfere with your religion (beliefs). Nor can a church become the civil governing authority.
Some spin it to mean that if you have beliefs you're not allowed to vote in a manner congruent with them.
Some spin it to mean separation of church and the United States. Church has no place in our Country.
If anyone reads writings of the founders of the Constitution they will see how misguided this is. Our nations founders were pious men and felt that our form of government would only be appropriate for a religious people who could govern themselves aided by their religion making it thus appropriate to have minimal intervention by the state. Our form of government would never suffice by an irresponsible or irreligious people.
Thankfully, since we no longer subscribe to religion, our children have been taught ethics by MTV, otherwise our country would probably be falling apart at the seems right now.
