The separation has been carried to the extreme.

This is how the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment read:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

These clauses had a simple purpose: to prevent establishment of a state religion and to prohibit government from interfering with the free exercise of religion.

What we have today is exactly the opposite. The law as interpreted and applied today is, in my opinion, a perversion of what the founding fathers intended. It is being pushed by those who are threatened by and/or dislike religion and who have an agenda to secularize this country.

As an aside, you want to see a religion, just take a look at liberalism.
