Seperation is nothing more than a made up liberal concept put into place by liberal judges and regurgitated over the years by liberals and atheists.

Good grief you could hardly be more wrong. Jefferson CONSTANTLY wrote about it and it's frequently mentioned in the Federalist Papers.
And it IS in the Constitution.

Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion

"Establishment" is a NOUN, not a verb in that sentence. It does not say "Congress shall pass no law respecting and establishment of *A* religion", but that's what most people seem to believe.
A church is an establishment of religion (kind of like how a tavern is an establishment of the owner). So is a graveyard, a Bible school, etc. That clause in the Constitution is the very basis for why Churches are tax-exempt!
