I think it's interesting the way you talk about the "separation of Church and State" when what you really mean is that you want politicians to act as if they don't have religious beliefs.

Last I checked, aligning your moral system with a particular religion didn't make you a member of the clergy, and the last Bishop who tried to influence an Australian politician got slapped pretty hard by Church *and* State.

Social groups and religions are allowed to have a say in public policy. A separation of Church and State has been lost when judges consult religious texts instead of laws, not when politicians vote to ban gay marriage and go to church on Sundays.

For the record, athiest. Or, as the Dalai Lama says, "compassion is my true religion".
