>> It is either just a little disingenuous or ignorant to suppose that somehow Christianity is intrinsically more amenable to a church/state separation than other religions.<< One can use (or misuse) history to prove all manner of points -- if the criterion (criteria) is (are) consistency and absence of hypocrisy. I can't think of any human enterprise or endeavor that can totally withstand those tests and be both completely consistent and completely free from hypocrisy. Can you? Tell me what you believe, and I'll tell you when and how your beliefs were misapplied in the past centuries. I guarantee it. Double your money back if I am wrong.
