Australian High Court rules against public school chaplains

This country needs a bill of rights like that of the United States with same strict separation between church and state clause.

I could be wrong, but doesn't the concept of the Separation of Church and State in the US not arise until roughly 1802 (Jefferson could have held these beliefs prior, but this is the first instance I see of it being in written form) and not really become the legem terrae (the term was used in 1868 I believe by the US Supreme Court, but I think it was actually used to protect religious freedom) until Post-War America when the US Supreme Court ruled that the inclusion of religion into secular life had an adverse affect on personal liberty?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
