Or can seperation of Church and State exist without seperation of God and State?
Is seperation of Church and State meant to prevent the formation of a "state church" like the Catholic church was in many countries throughout history, or the Church of England in the UK? To keep a specific denomination from gaining legislative or political power?
Or is seperation of Church and State meant to snuff out all traces of the Christian God from our courts, schools and governments.
Two very different concepts, if you ask me. Which is the most correct interpretation of the intent behind "seperation of Church and State"?
