The mix of religion and state have always been a problem it the United States. I think that it should be completely separate, because it only causes problems between two groups of people.
Church in schools has caused problems for many years and probably many more years to come. In the case of Wisconsin vs Yoder the young Amish men were fighting because their religion made them live out of the world from ages 14-16, the school out weighed the individual rights. An Arkansas law banning teaching the idea of evolution was unconstitutional, because it was based on “fundamentalist sectarian conviction” and violated the Establishment Clause.

The government may try to make bias decisions based on the religious views of the members. Finally we talked about my opinions of religion and government and how they do not mix with the thoughts of others, but that's just my opinion. In the end like I have stated before I think that this is a never ending problem that will challenge us for years to
