If we have separation of church and state why does it matter what religion our president belongs to?
OpinionSome see separation of church and state as only nominal, and hope that a future president will enact laws and regulations, and appoint judges, so as to further the interests of one group over those of another, perhaps even regardless of constitutional restrictions and legal precedents. There has never been a genuine separation of church and state. The fallacy that there is a separation was done in a clandestine attempt to shield the political and religious leaders from social upheavals. The church has always created beliefs to keep their followers loyal to the state. The state in turn has always propagated the church. Most of the laws in the country are determined by the scriptural morality of the church.

However, churches differ in their views on this, and there is no hard and fast rule that applies across the board.
Is democracy hindered by the separation of church and state?
The only real problem with separating church and state in democratic nations like the United States is that since churches receive tax exempt status just for being churches, the government cannot make any money off of them.

Why did colonist think it was important to include separation of church and state was good for the new government?
The general fear of state-imposed religion came as a result of Europe's oppressive and discriminatory regimes. It's important to remember that most the colonies were peopled by those fleeing religious persecution or at least seeking religious freedom. It is important to realize that the separation of Church and State is a one way separation. To explain this think of a two way mirror, with the church on one side and the government on the other. The church can see the government but the government can only see it's self. You see religion was held deeply by the founders, and they new of it's importance. But, they didn't want a government to pick one religion over another. So to this end They made sure that religious freedom would be a large part of the frame work of the United States. So the Church as with the mirror example was involved in and part of the United States and it's right's but the government was not part of the Church in any way whatsoever.
