Although not explicitly laid out in the Constitution, the idea of the seperation of church and state is derived from the "freedom from establishment of a government religion" clause in the 1st Amendment. It prevents the government from declaring a certain church, denomination of a church, or a certain religion as the official church or religion of the governement. It also serves to prevent churches from making special connections with and receiving unfair or exclusive benefits from the government. However, it does not literally remove the church from the state and vice versa. Debate typically occurs over religious symbols in public places and whether this amounts to "establishing a religion of the government."
