Seperation of church and state -was- primairly championed by christians through a complete accident of history. There were alot of you around. Then again..that wasn't entirely accidental, now was it?...
Tides turned since in more ways than one. There are fewer of you, and you're back to flirting with dominionism.

Separation of church and state back near the founding of the country had to do with reduction of religious persecution by the various sects. And here we are all those years hence, watching the religious doing it again. FFS, will it ever end? I already know the answer to that- it never will end.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

It didn't actually start then in any case. It's a long tradition - and it must extend further back than the written word. It's ludicrous to believe that we only recently figured out that we didn't particularly enjoy other peoples religious bullshit being forced on us, or that it took christians to figure it out.

Then you understand why the separation of church and state has been primarily championed by Christians.
Aren't you destined to Hell for lying, John? When are you gonna find and talk with an actual historian? ... or I might be just talking about my ass, who knows?

Gee whiz, you think? So now you're gonna drag in human biology into this fucking mess of a back-and-forth? I really hope that you're gonna play this deck of cards, and see where that leads ya, ya oaf.

That's the credibility laundromat at play - what his religion has done to him. It would be amazing if the belief set had survived 2k years without ever uttering a single true phrase. We find alot of truth about human nature in magic book, the authors really liked the work of pagan stoics and were...in fact...human.
By pointing to whatever true (and truly stolen, lol) things that their faith has uttered, they engender belief and credence in the seething mass of ridiculous and evil shit they also claim - the shit that's theologically and politically important to them. It's a fairly standard way to condition someone. Inventing reality whole cloth is too much of a lift.

It's all the fuckery, I speculate, they inherited from mysticism. Now, that, is me talking about my ass - because I have no way of knowing, because it's way out of my league and field. Maybe I should go find someone that just might educate me ...

IDK. The abrahamic religion as we know it began it's life as an establishment myth after the failure of it's own petty state, and then schismed into christianity as a function of a roman mob produced for and engaged in a culture war to replace an imperial lineage.
In an important sense, the abrahamic religion was explicitly produced to make the kinds of assholes that worry us in politics today - whereas mystics think that they might touch the divine through contemplation and self surrender.
