[my own non-blank line]

I suggest that you read the first amendment to the Constitution of
the United States. The main purpose was not separation of church and
state (originally) but to provide for the basic freedoms for public
support for Christian doctrine to be practiced without the hinderence
of governmental intervention into private practice of Christianity.
To translate this I mean the government should not dictate the method
in which the people should live in their private worship of God. The
Pharisees in ancient Israel tried this with a movement called the Way
(none as Christians today). The result was a separation within what
the Word said that Christ was coming and they missed it.
