I'm quite certain the Constitution has nothing to say about separation of church and state. Such talk is usually that deliberate mischaracterization of its language by the very people of whom you write about.

I believe the concept was to provide this new nation with freedom for religion - not freedom from religion.

The reality I observe is that many of the worst anti-religious bigots claim to be members of major religions. The loathing of evangelicals (the religious right) is often the ill-disguised loathing of any religious person that actually follows what he professes to believe. The hatred is really that of God and His commandments- the people they attack are merely God's messengers.
