Churches & most every other house of worship are afforded special treatment with regard to taxation & financial status by our government
As a result their involvement w matters of state are traditionally minimal as far as being directly involved w the government & it's business.
However, constituents of the church are free to express their opinions just as anyone else would be, & inferences of church beliefs & expectations are virtually unavoidable.

Let me get this straight. Because I am a Christian, are you saying I have no RIGHT to participate in politics? I have as much right to argue politics and to express MY OPINION on anything political as any atheist, agnostic, secularist, or ANY left wing radical. Because it is in dispute with the liberals point of view does not make it less lethal nor is it illegal. Race should not be considered in the politically correct environment today, but yet there are huge blocks of voters consisting of races and/or religions. There are those now promoting a presidential candidate today just because of his RACE. There are others promoting a candidate because of her SEX. Neither candidate has many qualifications that are positive, if any. So here we have them being pushed on the public with "it's time for a black president" or " it's time for a woman to be president". Yet they suggest that the church should be kept separate from the government. They would not want the church to have voters blocks or to say, " it's time for a Mormon to be president". Comprendo?

I agree that churches should not be involved with the "state." But I'd suggest you may receive more answers, and with more details if you stated your question with better sentence structure and checking the spelling would be good also.
Good Luck

"Separation of Church and State" is not in the Constitution. It's just a bumper sticker slogan for Christian bashers.
