Mana, I think you are misunderstanding what pompsander said, and where he politically stands. When he said that the separation of church and state was a myth, he was saying it didn't exist which is just like what you said. I say this because I have been guilty of misunderstanding posters on the basis of one post that I didn't clearly see the intent.

No separation of Church and State? How about Article VI...wouldn't you see this as clear indication that the purposes of religion and governance are seen to be different? Article. VI. All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. ===============================================================
