The phrase separation of church and state, comes from a letter by Thomas Jeffereson in 1802 referencing this.
"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof', thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."
This seems to be quite in line with the constitution, rather than "a direct violation" of it. No matter what color your glasses are.
Have you actually read what Sessions said? It's definitely slanted toward christians. (it's easy to see, count the number of times he refers to something christian)

I see no need for a task force that is set out to protect the majority religion. I like what the ACLU has to say:
"As enshrined in the First Amendment, religious freedom includes two complementary protections: the right to religious belief and expression and a guarantee that the government neither prefers religion over non-religion nor favors particular faiths over others. " (read the yellow box thingies also)

And this article sums it up pretty good: https://www.pressherald.com/2018/08/03/r...s-liberty/
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
