The only religion I know of that DEMANDS a Church/State is islam - combined with Sharia Law.
The Imams become the Clergy/Judges.
We are headed that way - with our tolerance and sucking up!

Why are you so stuck on it? There is no one group that is trying to end it. Simply put, the people who get in power and have the power to change things are caused some of the mixing of church and state and this country. There was never supposed to be in God we trust on our money and there was not supposed to be God in our pledge of allegiance. They have been slipped in there over time, just because someone irresponsibly thought they should be there. If you want to believe in God that is all well in good, but just because the majority of our population believes in God or is a Christian still does not give them the right to impose this belief on those that are not. Some might find it hypocritical to say a pledge of allegiance that has God in it, and if you refuse as a child you may be ostracized by your peers because of this. Religious beliefs should be personal and kept at home and out of anything that the government regulates or controls. In our country by law kids must go to school, with this in mind then the school should be kept as objective as possible. We need to keep these things separate so as not to create an environment where bigotry can breed.

Any one or any group who advocates forcing people to accept some particular idea or adhere to behavioral standards from any particular religion. In such a case, our religious freedom is being infringed upon and the separation of church and state has been violated.
But if you just NEED specifics, here it is:
Dominionism is a trend in Protestant Christian evangelicalism and fundamentalism, primarily, though not exclusively, in the United States, that seeks to establish specific political policies based on religious beliefs (hint: this would be a violation of the separation of church and state).
In their report Funding the Culture Wars the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy lists the Family Research Council, the Christian Coalition and Focus on the Family as prominent organizations that fund the activities of the Christian Right. TheocracyWatch lists all three as "dominionist" organizations.

Those who support the 10 commandments display in courthouses...
Faith based pro-life groups
Anyone who claims that the US is based on christian principles, by taking comments from the framers out of context...
There are no groups, per se, trying to do away with that phrase, but any and all groups trying to have laws passed that are based on religious dogma are attempting to do away with the seperation.

It would be interesting to know who is attempting this impossible task.
In all human history Church/religion and government never have been separated except in the imaginations of some liberals; among them a bevy of somewhat deluded journalists, lawyers and historians. .

Quakers, the same one who first came up with the idea. It began as a Christian concept. Why they want the power now is beyond me.
Misread your question. Sorry. Check out Pat Robertson, he wants to end the Separation.

Separation between church and state is a myth. If one is a Christian , he can not separate his faith from his life-even if he is a public servant.
The first amendment says that the government can make no law with respect to the establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof.

So if you don't, why do you want bibles in court houses? prayers in schools? Creationism in classrooms? Sodomy being illegal? Atheists being unable to hold office in certain cities? If you wanted separation of church and state, maybe you'd be in favor of it. I really doubt there is some candidate that'll outright say "I want theocracy"

The Christian right and all their allies, they even want public schools to teach their religion for them.

Republicans hate the 1st Amendment. They want premillenial dispensationalism as the sole state religion, with anyone who disagrees with it being burned.
