Who started separation of church and state?
Right out of the door it was understood by all that there would be a separation of church and state. The English colonies had lived under a state religion and a king. The result was they knew the problems from a state run religion and the discrimination that comes with it. There are many religions in the world and a secular society and government allows for freedom of religion. Not making a state run religion in the constitution allows for freedom to choose religion or not to choose. The founding fathers were very open to other religions and attended synagogues as well as other churches.

Do you agree in the separation of the church and state of the Philippines?
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!
