Today's interpretation of "separation of church and state" implies that religion of any kind cannot be involved in any governmental entity, ceremony, or action. This implies that one's religion must be limited in the life of an individual. In that sense, "freedom of religion" - that is to say, the freedom to exercise one's religion over the lives of others - is hindered.
