If we have separation of church and state why does it matter what religion our president belongs to?
OpinionSome see separation of church and state as only nominal, and hope that a future president will enact laws and regulations, and appoint judges, so as to further the interests of one group over those of another, perhaps even regardless of constitutional restrictions and legal precedents. There has never been a genuine separation of church and state. The fallacy that there is a separation was done in a clandestine attempt to shield the political and religious leaders from social upheavals. The church has always created beliefs to keep their followers loyal to the state. The state in turn has always propagated the church. Most of the laws in the country are determined by the scriptural morality of the church.

It was not meant for people to use it to keep Christianity out of the U.S. government, but it was meant to keep the government out of the church. That is what England was doing and many colonists were different denominations and did not want a specific denomination to rule over the U.S. They wanted people to express their denomination freely, not become this radical hype many have turned it into.Another answer:The reverse is also true in that religion should not interfere in rights under the constitution. One religion's view of a right may not be the same as another religion and neither interpretation of the law should be selected over the other.

WRONG ANSWER BELOW the Pilgrims and the Purtians came to America to escape the state religion of England.
