Like Luckie, I supported separation of church and state when I was a Christian also. Throughout history, Christians have killed those of their members who didn't agree with the majority among them. Ironically, a Christian theocracy would create real persecution for many Christians.

I think that ignorance is the main reason that it seems that so many American Christians don't understand the advantage of the separation of church and state. Yes, that is harsh but ignorance, by itself, can be rectified. The problem is that many seem to enjoy being ignorant.
