I dont believe you people understand what 'separation of church and state' really means. Our forefathers meant it to mean that the state cannot tell you what religion you have to be. It doesnt mean that religion should be illegal in school or public places. Our country was founded on Christianity. Those people that use separation of church and state as a way to eliminate God from the pledge of allegiance, or to have the Bible removed from courthouses, are ignorant to the meaning of the phrase they are using. And if the state and the church are separated, why does the church have to pay state and federal taxes?

Adding on to what Luke has posted here, give this a read:
