While there is some merit to this, i.e. some applicable means, if we took it to where you want we would not have the declaration or the constitution.
Separation of Church and state as it exists in the constitution means that government rules need to stay out of religious dogma, not the other way around.
That is a real difference and not one you want to change, if you want to keep your liberty.
Restraining religion in public places is so far down the scale of what is dangerous there is no need to even look at it now.
Restraining government is the #1 problem and poses the biggest threat to all of us.
As a Christian I don't fear the words, ideas, or dogma of Islam, radical or otherwise, I fear their swords, their guns, their fire, and a government that won't let me shoot them when they attack. And I fear the latter the most of all.
