"Separation of church and state" doesn't exist in the United States. At least not the way the progressive propaganda that has been fed to you tells you. The United States Constitution guarantees you freedom of religion imposed upon you by government. It does NOT guarantee you freedom FROM exposure to religion, religious objects, songs or otherwise. Even in public places.
The left-wing idea of separation of church and state comes from the bastardization of Jefferson's writing by left-wing Supreme Court activist Hugo Black. Black just "coincidentally" was the son of a klan member who hated Catholics, among others. Like most left-wing activists, Black took something, twisted it, and turned it into something to suit his own beliefs and purposes i.e. his learned hatred of Catholicism which then enveloped all of Christianity and then all religion. The ultimate purpose is to snuff out religion entirely and replace the state i.e. government, as the altar everyone prays to.
The moral of the story: learn where a "doctrine" comes from and the purposes behind it before you embrace it.
This comes to you from a non-religious person because it's relevant to those who profess to not believe and even to those that are not in the United States. Tyrants and governments attempt to separate the people from religion in an attempt to create a void in their lives and then swoop in and have government fill that role as the power to be. It is why so many non-free societies place restrictions if not outright bans upon religion. You shall live to serve the state -- nobody else -- not even a Higher Power.
Back in the United States, our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, references our rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness that are given to us not by government or man, but by the Creator. This is crucial. Since these rights are God given, they cannot be taken from you by a mere mortal government. The continuous attempts to separate people from their religion makes this argument moot, and therefore opens up the possibility of government claiming these rights null and void. Think about that for awhile before you go out campaigning against religion next time.
