There are many different reasons that the separation of church and state is a good idea. On the contrast there are many different reasons that the union of church and state is a good idea as well. This has been an on going battle since the revolution, when we fought against religious persecution.

They would be able to realize that even though there are differences between them in how they dress, eat, or choosing right from wrong, they all believe there is a higher power and that we all are God's children. This belief would signify family values within larger communities.

Some people may think that the Death penalty is wrong, that a person doesn't deserve to die. He might deserve to rot in jail, but religion dictates that it is God's decision. If religion were to influence the government, than the government might get rid of penalties that might be too harsh.
