Separation of Church & State

I cannot see anything other than the complete separation of the two as acceptable and have never heard a compelling argument for anything different.
I am open to rational debate, however.

One thing that is certain, this nation was founded upon the principal of the separation of church(any and all religion) and state.

IMO, all forms of religion need to be removed from the Pledge (as the writer intended), money, courts, congress and anything else our taxes touch.
