"Separation of church and state" is a phrase President Jefferson wrote in reference to the First Amendment, ""Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Activist judges have used Jefferson's phrase to mean there should be a "wall" between religion and government with the intent to eradicate religion entirely and replace it with statism. If one carefully reads the Amendment, it should be clear that it means the government should not favor any religion, including creating a government religion.
