Seperation of Church and State?

[AlphaXi4983]

no, there is no longer a separation of church and state. and this cannot be blamed on one candidate or the other, both major parties are responsible for this (i dont know enough about the minor parties to include/exclude them). both sides constantly bring religion into political debates in an effort to draw voters to them. it seems almost to be more a thing of convenience than actual belief though. i think this has been most notable during this election campaign becuase of the many controversial topics, but it has been present for some time now. regardless, it is absolutely rediculous that religion is allowed to be brought into politics the way it has been. i am not here to state my religion or to bash any religion, but in a state that is as religiously diverse as the united states, one religion should not be more influential over laws and policies than any other. the only way to accomplish this is for politicians to re-visit the constitution and pay close attention to the part about religion and the state.
