This is a favorite strawman of the Religious Right, asserting that the exact phrase "separation of church and state" isn't in the Constitution.
They ignore that there are only three references to religion in the entire Constitution, all three of which work to separate church and state.

Reagan's GOP liked to call their coalition a "three-legged stool" made up of the Religious Right, libertarians and anticommunists.
Trump's GOP has its own coalition, but it's made up of white supremacists, pedophiles and traitors. And its leaders are often all three!
Don’t ever try to convince me that they are the law and order party.
These people didn’t plead guilty, they were actually convicted of seditious effing conspiracy.
“When I saw evidence that our products were being used to harm people and undermine the law, I did what anyone should do—I raised the alarm. Thomson Reuters’ response was to fire me.”

Your Terrible Stick Figures are the best Terrible Stick Figures
Pen and ink stick figure drawing of Justin Bieber at Coachella
Justin Bieber said no press photogs so I had to break out another Terrible Stick Figure drawing, this from the YouTube karaoke part of the set. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Jack White’s Mojave Tent set wasn’t open to press photogs so I had to bust out the Terrible Stick Figure Drawings early today at #Coachella.
Follow along with my adventures!

Dude, if you wanted me to shoot your headshots you just had to ask! Happy to help… here you go, sir.
You’re welcome.

I'm thrilled with the results of the 2nd Edition. It's fully instructive and can just be enjoyed for the photos too. :)
Friends, I am really excited for what we are cooking up for #Coachella. Follow @latimes.com if you aren’t already!
I asked ChatGPT:
“Is the President of the U.S. threatening “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again”, while at war with the country, a war crime?
Does that answer change depending on if he does or doesn’t follow through, or is threat alone a war crime?”
To conservatives who’ve objected when some of us have suggested Trump is a fascist, and who’ve complained when some us point out that much of real existing American conservatism has devolved into fascism, if you’re silent about Trump’s threat of genocide you’re proving the point you’ve objected to.
No American is served by creating ever bigger media monopolies funded by ever more elusive foreign entities.
The U.S. Government isn’t a business, let alone your business.
Today, for my 100th KCAL On The Rocks, I’ve got one of my favorite bourbons to tell you about.

Truth Social Post from Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
On this Easter, this message is brought to you - and supported - by people claiming to be religious.
Polymarket: 99-1 odds against the president praising Allah on Easter.
Trump:
It is impressive and telling that this post, which contains no specificity, identifies a future event with sufficient specificity that readers can readily recognize what that event will be.
I could never be on this team. The mental gymnastics to be on this team are beyond my abilities.
