That's the problem, and that's the manifest wisdom of separation of church and state. It's not there as a barrier to the exercise of religious belief, but rather to keep relationships between religious denominations harmonious.

When people migrated to America they were escaping England and their church governed land. There is no separation there.
The separation of church and state is not to protect churches, it is to protect the government from religion.
