There is no direct reference in the constitution that states there is a separation of church and state. Yet, when it was written the founding fathers had all experienced life under a king and a state religion. This is why the second amendment was written because the freedom to worship as they pleased was a necessary freedom. Jefferson wrote extensively about the importance of separation of church and state and how important it was to maintain a secular state.This preserves the freedom of religion for all.
