So yes we understand the seperation between church and state, do you?
He said Ben was one of the few founding fathers that were not christian.
Most of the founding faters were not cristians.
And they and others tried very hard to keep religion out of the constitution.

Remember that religous freedom was one of the reasons we sailed across the ocean.

Seperation of church and state gives these religous types freedom to worship whom/what ever they wish.
But they dont seem to understand that.
They want to mandate their own religon, and they all think theirs is the one true religon.
Having things like the 10 commandments in any government building is sponoring a state religon.
