It's rather interesting how people use this section, it was actually made so that there would never be a national religion, (i.e. The tax that England levied on people for the Church of England). Also, nowhere in the Constitution does it explicitly say "separation of church and state," this was extracted from a letter by Thomas Jefferson.
