I'd respectfully urge you to read up more & reconsider your understanding of the entire concept of "separation of church & state."
I posted this above, but definitely bears repeating here:
John Adams: 'Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.'
And did you know the reason that the Founding Fathers pushed for the 1st Amendment's religious aspect is because the original 13 colonies had official state churches, and they didn't want one sect being imposed by the new fed gov, over another.
The protestants didn't want anglicanism forced on them, because they already lived in a state with an official Anglican religion. The Congretaionalists didn't want another religion imposed upon them by the fed; they lived in a state whose official religion was already Congregationalism.
Separation of church & state" is not only a complete & total myth; it has directly & materially led to the downfall & decay of our society.
John Adams opinion is dandy but the US Constitution is the final written embodiment of what the founding fathers and lawmakers of that era agreed upon. We are bound by what is written to this day. I would suggest reading the document itself.
