Nathan, you need to find another phrase to use. " ... separation of church and state" is no longer an acceptable way to express yourself!

From the article: A unanimous panel of the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Tuesday issued an historic decision declaring that

"the First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

I guess someone watched the Brit Hume special on Sunday night. He showed that the "wall of separation" phrase was penned by Thomas Jefferson early in the 1800's. It was incorrectly cited by Justice Black, I believe, which started us down that road.
