I find this confusing. What the hell are you trying to say? Will reread. Of course it's necessary to separate church and state- a great advance from the holy Roman empire and other intolerant theocratic societies. Church is an instrument of domination if given the power. Separation is necessary in order to prevent any one religious confession from supplanting the state or having power over a diverse citizenry. As long as we still have States as the seat of government.

Well, yes John Locke and Jefferson accepted slavery--and by all available evidence so did Jesus and St. Paul. I don't really get the point of this.
