there is nothing anywhere in the constitution about seperation of church and state, this is a huge myth..

grab a copy of it, read it...the only thing you will find similar is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Thomas Jefferson however did send a letter in 1802 and it included this "I contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State." which is where we get the quote from
