In the one case you site the church and State were separated by a free vote of the people of California. That is a pretty reasonable separation and is in line with what the Framers invisioned.
Again the Framers concern was the forming of a state church like the one in England. The fact that the Mormon church got charged is an example of a bad application of the law. They should have taken the case to the Supreme court.
