so what's your stand on the separation of church and state?

scraps-is-busy:

I believe that the church and government are not the same. The government is designed to listen to people, and the church is about telling people what to do. 

Religion is often used as a tool to provide order, and to find a central leadership. Like in the Middle ages, where religion was used to appoint leaders and give them absolute authority. 

But that’s not Government. Government is people electing others they believe hold their same goals. 

When the Church gets involved in Government, it creates a problem. Because the church tries to tell the Government how to act, which breaks the initial purpose of government, which is to uphold the views of the people.
