"...separation of church and state as it is presented in the Constitution"

Please, show us the reference in the Constitution where it says "separation of church and state".

It's in the establishment cause of the Constitution. Oh, wait a minute, I see, you are having some difficulty grasping this point because it doesn't actually spell out separation of church and state.

Well yes, apparently the founders assumed, and you know what happens when one assumes, that those who would actually be reading this document would be well educated enough, and familiar enough with world history, law, and politics, that there would be no need to incorporate a simpletons checklist.

Just shows you how wrong one can be about predicting the future.

It's right there in Article 52:

Article 52 [Religion]
(1) Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.
(2) In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.
What, is that the wrong Constitution? Well, it's the one the Democrats are using to establish party platforms and institute public policy from. Just read through it.
