Can any of you folks who keep babbling about some alleged "separation of church and state" required by the Constitution cite the Article or?
Amendment that contains that phrase? I've read the Constitution several times and haven't found it yet. I have found "shall not be infringed" and "right of the people".
Apparently no one can read English. The question asks for the Article or Amendment that contains the phrase "separation of church and state". NONE of you have done so. Elwood Blues, that isn't even an official document of our nation. It's a piece of stinking postage!! Apparently you don't even know what the "Constitution" is.
Bill, where is the word "separation" in that clause?

Bill has it: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
Explained: “I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.” - Thomas Jefferson 1802

ARTICLE 124. In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state, and the school from the church.

Because once a government endorses or bases a law on a particular religion it has infringed on the rights of those not of that religion. That is why they should be and are kept seperate.
