Separation of Church and State is another SCOTUS screw up. It's NOT in the constitution.

Nope sorry. That limits the federal government exactly in the manor described in the video that you apparently didn't take 5 min to watch. It's also not in the Federalist papers which a quicker google search would have told you.
You should watch the video. You will learn a few things.
Absolutely right ! They used that lie to get Christians to sit in the pews and allow the devil to take all the political seats and power ! I pray the church understands they were lied to !
I watched the video. Which specific religion does the Constitution “attach” to state? And please quote the text for us. No religion is attached to the state and for good reason. We are not a theocracy. If a particular religion is attached to the state, we could have sharia law if the Muslims became a majority. You can’t have your cake and eat it to.
"Us"? You got a mouse in your pocket or a personality disorder?
You're making a straw-man logical fallacy. My statement "Separation of Church and State is another SCOTUS screw up. It's NOT in the constitution"
You are saying "State" when congress is a Federal institution. A very obvious category error.
"States" means States.
Early colonial constitutions and laws reveal many Christian provisions. As well, at least nine of the 13 colonies had established churches, and all required officeholders to be Christians—or, in some cases, Protestants. Quaker Pennsylvania, for instance, expected officeholders to be “such as possess faith in Jesus Christ."
The federal government couldn't establish a official religious doctrine. You need look no further than the Church Of England and other European nation / state systems that didn't allow for doctoral differences to figure out the reasoning in context. States were free to establish religion however and many did. The last state church wasn't disestablished until 1832, but many states retained religious tests for public office, had laws aimed at restricting vice, required prayer in schools, and so forth. Because the federal government was not to be concerned with these issues, they were not addressed in the Constitution. The First Amendment merely reinforced this understanding with respect to the faith—i.e., Congress has no power to establish a national church or restrict the free exercise of religion.

Even Hawaii's 1840 constitution has this: I. "That no law shall be enacted which is at variance with the word of the Lord Jehovah, or at variance with the general spirit of His word. All laws of the Islands shall be in consistency with the general spirit of God's law."
Also try googling next time. It's history.
And we're not a theocracy yet. But the Bible says we will be and I, for one, am working towards that but not like any one that has ever existed previously.
You can thank God's law for the rights you enjoy today. That's where they were drawn from.
You can go shake your fist at the sky some more now. This is surely quite upsetting but that's because you are doing what the Bible says you'll do. If you hate it so much why are you conforming to it so precisely?
