Just look at our world history of the church and states taking on power over a people at different times and it will become perfectly clear why we have a seperation of church and state. The church with its persecutions of non-believers and attacks on each other for who has the one true God. The state for having a small ruling class while the majority was reduced to serfs living off the land to serve their masters. Then the conflicts between church and state when fighting over who owns the hearts and minds to control the people and the land between the church and ruling class.
