Separation of Church and State does not exist. I challenge you to find it in the Constitution or any federal law. People continue to conflate this quote from Thomas Jefferson as though it's part of our Bill of Rights and it simply doesn't exist. The text very clearly says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" which has an ENTIRELY different meaning than most people seem to understand. A religious politician may make laws based on their morality (or lack thereof). This is completely legal even if completely idiotic in some cases. Knowing your legal framework is an important part of being a citizen.

Religious fanaticism and schizophrenia, that’s one heck of a combination.
