> Just one problem. The concept of "Separation of Church and State" is popularly misinterpreted to mean "Religion has no place in politics." Here is a stumbling block against the Theocracy of God's Kingdom and his love made manifest on earth. So, should we not consider this entire belief that "religion has no place in government" to be sin?

Of course religion has a place in politics! All your decisions on what to do in different cases should be based on (the ethics of) your beliefs, or else you would be denying the God you believe in. And denying your God would be a sin, wouldn't it?

"Sepatation of Church and State", in my book, means "Politics has no place in religion". Here in Norway, the minister of Education, Research and Church Affairs is the one who appoints deans and bishops. And presently, this minister isn't even a Christian!
