It doesn't. There is no written reference in the constitution that states anything about the separation of church and state. It is implied and not explicit. Jefferson wrote extensively about it and warned of the dangers of a state religion. The First Amendment tells us that we have the right to choose a religion or not have one.

It takes how many states to block an amendment?

The number of states blocking an amendment is not the proper test. It takes agreement by three fourths of the states in order for an amendment to become enacted. This isn't just a minor point. Calculating 3/4 of the states for ratification gives 37.5, which would have to be rounded up to 38 to meet the requirement. If the law read: 1/4 of the states must block to keep the amendment from being enacted, then 1/4 of 50 would be 12.5, and this would have to be rounded to 13 in order to meet the requirement, and agreement by 37 states could enact the amendment.
