Church & State....Lift & separate.

Sorry, but church should be COMPLETELY separated from state. All government should remain out of churches and all religion should remain out of government. It's NEVER ok to mix them. Not for a small town nativity scene, not to put God on money, etc. Doing these things respects an establishment of religion and is exclusionary to those of other religions or no religion and shows bias.

The exact phrase "separation of church and state" aren't in the Constitution, but neither is the phrase "Bill of Rights". The separation of church and state is no less a part of the Constitution than is the Bill of rights.
