The Fox lead is misleading. “Separation of church and state” is not specified in the First Amendment. “Establishment of religion” is. People are entitled to their opinion on this and should not be accused of ignorance for not equating the two.

If the lead came from AP, it’s still Fox’s lameness for picking it up and sending it on its way to us. I’m sick of this.

Your clarity is worth repeating!

They can have an opinion, but their opinion is irrelevant to the truth of what the first amendment means.

should not be accused of ignorance for not equating the two.
On the contrary, they should be viewed as fully understanding the first amendment by NOT equating the two.
