This is how it always is...persecute the Christians/Christianity...and every other religion is promoted and gets a free pass...so the separation of church and state ONLY applies to Christianity.
The government cannot force a specific religion but they also cannot compel Christians to abandon their beliefs when they are in a political arena since faith influences political beliefs...this was how the founding fathers viewed politics and religion...
This is the flaw in separation of church and state...there has to be some basic accepted moral code of behavior in every civilized society. The Ten Commandments used to be foundational until they were thrown out with separation of church and state...which is why we are in the mess we are in today.
