Oh my God, you're right - that banner is BADASS. ;)
I sort of knew that this was today's topic, hours before I actually swung by to check it out. And I've been thinking about what I could say on it. Once again, I'm sure it's worth approximately one (1) hill of beans, but y'know, when has that ever stopped me? ;)
It's a laugh to think that church and state have EVER been separate in politics or government. Sway, you're totally right in that the country was founded and established by mostly religious, (Christian) God-fearing men. Hell, several fellows in Congress absolutely REFUSED to sign the Declaration until Jefferson allowed the phrase "divine providence" to be added. It's a wonderful thing that we have freedom to worship, believe and have faith in a higher power of your choice here. It's equally cool that we have the freedom to not worship, not believe and not have faith in any sort of theism. In a perfect world - or at least country - both these factions would feel equally represented by their government

I agree, it is quite laughable to think that church/state have ever been, or will ever effectively be (for the purposes of equality and no judgement, that is) separate from each other

B, you finished my thoughts almost exactly as I would've. Eh, 's a lie - you did it more eloquently. Thank you. It's like you know me super well or something. ;)
And now, my healing brain and I are off to bed. :)

If you are an American, then you share something with every other American. You're a citizen. That's the 'state' I assume you're referring to (whether it be U.S. government (all Americans), or state government (all Texans
