Both church and state are separate entities, each having its own governing body. The only time the government or state have cause to act is when some offense by a church member or the church itself contradicts the laws of that state. If a man murders or steals then the church takes its own action, but then the person must face the legal requirements of the states laws.
The Massachusetts Bay Colony did not have a separation of church and state. Established by Puritans in the early 17th century, its government was closely tied to the Congregational Church, and civil laws were often based on religious principles. This meant that church leaders held significant influence over political matters, and dissenting religious views were often met with persecution.

How was a separation of church and state created
This has been answered many times by the courts: Church Schools that receive no state (government; state or federal) funding do not violate the separation of church and state. Further, no classes held in a church (that do receive government funding) violate the separation clause as long as the 'church' and its religious edict (teachings) is left out of the curriculum.
