Ted, for most of this nation's history, the separation of church and state only meant that government can't force a citizen into any religion. That was significant during the days of the Church of England, where not belonging to the church meant treason.

Nowadays, that separation has expanded to the point where even a tiny cross on the L.A. County seal is considered a violation:

pasadenastarnews.com (a non-FOXNews link, just for you)

This expansion only finds its precedent in modern history, i.e. post-WWII. "Centuries" is a stretch.
