What about "give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and give to God what is God's."
Isn't that a reasonable argument for at least some semblance of separation of church and state?
But "separation of church and state" has been blown out of proportion from what it orginally meant (those exact words aren't even in the Constitution). The government isn't supposed to establish a religion, or advocate an official religion, but that doesn't mean religion is to be effaced from anything to do with government.
