Unidirectional Separation is no Separation at All

Local conservatives are repeating more myths about church and state separation. This one is old but still as silly as when I first heard it. "Thomas Jefferson['s letter] dated January 1, 1802... was actually stating that government needs to stay out of the church, not that the church stay out of the government" (anonymous online forum poster "TheDisciple").

What will a church do with a governmental key that will not also lead to an entanglement that impacts the religious practices of others? Notice Madison and Jefferson never mentioned that "the wall" was a half wall half gate depending on the direction of the entanglement.
