I know very ver little about the "Seperation of Church and State," but I plan to start looking in to it more. I found this quote from Thomas Jefferson, off of a Wikipedia page dedicated to this topic.
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, 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 & State" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state
I think the founders were naive, as they truly believed in One God, and Christ. I believe they never thought these words would inspire men to remove God from all aspects of our country. Why would they have printed "In God We Trust" on the coins? Who among them protested those words?
Through seperation of Church and state, was their main intention to actually protect both?
