Im not arguing with you HOZ...but how does that equate to "seperation of church and state"?

Clearly the first amendment ensures that no religion is to be prevented by any government...but is that the same thing? It does not state that governments cannot base laws/decisions etc based on faith based standards, in fact its just the opposite.

The ENTIRE federal system is based on the bible...from laws to the way the 3 branches were established. Read the link i provided from start to finish (yes its a long read) and you will be clear on the fact....no where in the constitution of the United States is it written anywhere that there must be a seperation of church from state....period.
