They believed in a seperation of Church and State because of what they had to go through over in Europe in which the church had as much authority (if not more) than the state.

That is not true, what they wanted was that the govt can't recognize a church or religion as an official govt, because that is where the Kings got their power from. Their so called ordained power given by birth right. They wanted to ensure that it stayed a govt of the people for the people, and not let one small group or family of tyrants be able to take control.

They very much so intended for Christianity to be part of the govt, but it not be forced on anyone. If you honestly think the founding fathers would be happy with where this country is at right now based on the efforts to try and remove God and Jesus from everything, you'd be mistaken. Id say you'd have some more tea floating in Boston Harbor.
