Are you for or against the separation of church and state?

[smax]

Very hard to imagine that there is much to discuss on this thread. Most theists should recognize that non-interference for their faction is in their best interest. It goes without saying why atheists should be for separation of church and state. So what is there to say? Has anyone actually argued against?

In a perfect world, this would be a clear cut matter, but in this one's, it's anything but clear.

Some of the same people who are for the separation of church and state are against removing the 10 commandments, and the Bible, from various court rooms.

Some people do not understand what it really means to be for the separation of church and state, and that's why it's an important topic of discussion.

what about the issue of capital punishment? Can a senator base his decision on the advice from a person who's belief originates from astrology, or star wars...then why can't the senator base his decision on the advice from a jewish person or a muslim person or a christain person?

You seem to think there is a double standard here. There isn't. I don't care for the influence of anything fictional when it comes to government, and public office should be represent without such influences.
