About Separation of Church & State..Not A Fallacy. It's the law: Amendment 1, U.S. Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "

Sentence One of Amendment One, of the U.S. Constitution (First 10 Amendments: Bill of Rights)

Sentence One....:Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise of..................

That says...no law...NO...still means ...NO......

A law or executive order by Trump on religion is illegal....If this gets into the courts, it will be declared illegal. Separation of Church and State is in the U.S. Constitution. Trump cannot give an executive order
on any aspect of ...."establishment of religion"....The separation of "church and state" is in
the United States Constitution.

...It is there because that is what the founders of this country wanted. There is separation because of the Constitution...This is not a fallacy, it was an important idea of our founding fathers.
Amendment One solidifies that separation. Every scholar of the Constitution knows that.

FEC Chairman James E. “Trey” Trainor III is as much a stupid fool as Donald Trump. Denying separation of church & state goes against the founding fathers & The United States Constitution.

.One other sentence...."The United States Constitution Is The Supreme Law of The Land."
