While there is no single, unambiguous, all-encompassing law establishing the separation between church and state, all relevant laws ultimately rely on The First Amendment to the United States Constitution and then stare decisis in judicial precedence. The same can be said for gun rights and the Second Amendment.
Regarding your use of the phrase, "separation of church and state," it was first used by Thomas Jefferson in response to a query by the Danbury (Connecticut) Baptists. He said that he agrees with them that church and state should be separate. However, the concept and even the terminology predate Jefferson's letter by over 150 years, going back to Roger Williams, a founder of the Baptist church in America. This desire for religious liberty, "That Religion is at all times and places a Matter between God and Individuals," was a major concern of early Baptists until the late 19th century and still is among some Baptists.
