6. The Constitution is quite clear about the separation of church and state.

It's the courts that seem to be blurring the lines.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

And I'll add that while a lot of Christians are complaining that government is being hostile toward Christians, from their own perspective, there is not a segment of the American population that enjoys the kind of privileges and favors that white, conservative Christians enjoy, or that have so much freedom, including having their property and assets free from taxation, and from most government regulation, including discrimination regulations. The public square is open to them and their speech is free and protected. It is not possible to name one case in which someone in this country has been prosecuted or convicted because of their Christian faith.
