You should know that the first ammendmant to the US Constitution does not
separate church and state. It prohibits the Fed from establishing a
religion.

and you don't see that as requiring a separation?


Nope. It, like a lot of what the constitution says, just says that
they can't pass laws establishing a religion, not that individuals can't
do what they want merely because they are government employees. I
actually think about the only time they got it right recenty was on the
pledge of allegiance.
The "under God" wasn't in the original until a law was passed adding
it. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" pretty much says that it has
to go.
I also find it interesting that those pushing for this separation are
actually calling for the prohibition of the free exercise thereof.
