The pros are that we don't have the government involved in the church's business and telling us what religion we have to practice.
The cons are that the majority of Americans don't understand the concept. They believe it is intended to keep a politician from following his religious beliefs when making political decisions and this could not be farther from the truth. The founding fathers of this country never expected any leader to turn his back on his beliefs while making decisions, actually they expected quite the opposite.

First of all, "separation of church and state" does not exist in the Constitution or the bill of Rights it is a fabrication of the ACLU. I am a Catholic and I would have no problems having my tax money going to a Christian school. As long as the gov't doesn't force people to follow a certain religion I'm ok.

Depends if you're talking about complete separation, which people seem to think we have, or what we actually have.
Pros - Someone in the government can't tell you how to pray, where to pray, who to pray to.
Cons - Some people think they have the right to tell you you can't pray, or where you can't pray, or who you can't pray to.
