The state (or country) should always stay out of the affairs of the church. The church should be free from any restrictions from the state since the head is Christ Himself. This doesn't mean that the church is above the law. The church should obey the law unless the law requires disobedience to God, at which point the church should disobey the law in order to obey God. Any idea of "Separation of Church and State" should be for the church's protection from the state, otherwise the result will be to "kick God out" of the country so to speak and that is never a good thing!

Why did Jefferson want to change for religions church freedom?
Jefferson is often cited as the author of the modern idea of "separation of church and state". Today the phrase is used to inhibit religious practices in any venue that might be considered to be under the supervision of direct government. In fact, Jefferson was advocating for the right of free religious expression without interference from government. His "wall of separation between church and state' was meant to protect the church from government encroachment, not to put up barriers to the free practice of religion.
