I don't believe there is a separation of church and state. I think the Constitution is very clear. The only separation is that there will not be a government church.

I do believe in the separation of church and state. But I don't think separation of church and state means you have to be free from your faith.

Quite often you hear people say, 'What about separation of church and state?' There is no such thing.

We have this idea in our minds that there's this separation of church and state in America, which I think is a good thing. And we extend that to our politics - not just church and state, but it's also there's a separation of religion and politics. But of course there isn't.

Separation of Church and state was a radical idea when the U.S. was first founded, but it's become The Way Things Are.

There are some who invoke separation of church and state - to try to get the government out of the business of morality - but this is antithetical to what the founders wanted. The founders wanted to keep theology out of government so that government could focus on the proper business of morality.

I believe in the separation of church and state, absolutely. But I don't believe in the separation of public life from our values, our basic values, and for many of us, our religious values.

I disagree strongly with the concept of separation of church and state. It was not written into the Constitution.

The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.

Each of us has the choice to attend the church we want to, or none at all. Separation of church and state allows for religions to have their own set of rules as to whom they will accept and who they won't, and the practices they support and the ones they don't. They will continue to be able to do so.
