Someone show me a binding document that declares the separation of church and state. It isn’t that I disagree with the concept, but this is one of those little nuggets of bullshit that has been repeated so many times that most everybody believes it’s true.

The first amendment is clearly written to keep government from declaring a national religion. That’s it! Don’t believe me? Read it for yourself.

The closest thing I can find is a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists. This would have absolutely no legal standing whatsoever.
