Christ's Church was part of William Penn's Charter and where some Founders went

[Chuckt]

“No other church has played a more significant role in our nation’s birth”, according to historian David McCullough. Christ Church was founded in 1695 as a condition of William Penn’s Charter. The current building dates to 1744, and has been cited as “our finest Early American church.” Its steeple (1754) is the work of Robert Smith, one of America’s earliest architects; Thomas U. Walter, later architect of the U.S. Capitol, redesigned the interior of the sanctuary (1832-36). At Christ Church, 25% of Philadelphia’s free and enslaved Africans were baptized, a school was created to educate slaves, and the first black priest, Absalom Jones, was ordained. During the Revolutionary Era, Christ Church welcomed the Continental Congresses. Benjamin and Deborah Franklin and Betsy Ross were parishioners. Later, George Washington and John Adams attended services while they were the nation’s Chief Executives. Here, the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States was created from the ashes of the Church of England. Christ Church is a privately managed historic site that is an official component of Independence National Historical Park (INHP).

Stories about “religious tolerance” and “freedom of religion” have real meaning for visitors sitting in the pews of George Washington, Benjamin Rush and Sally Franklin Bache.

In 1719, Christ Church purchased two acres of land on the outskirts of town at the corner of 5th and Arch Streets. The burial ground became the final resting place for over 4000 members of Christ Church including five signers of the Declaration of Independence: Benjamin Franklin, Joseph Hewes, Francis Hopkinson, George Ross, and Dr. Benjamin Rush. Also buried on these historic and sacred grounds are many of our nations early founders and leaders, prominent lawyers, medical pioneers, military heroes, victims of the Yellow Fever epidemic, and members of the Church from the colonial era up into the last decade.

The signers of the Declaration of Independence were part of this Church and I don't believe they believed this separation of Church and State nonsense.

Many religious people favored the separation of church and state. Particularly the Baptists who were discriminated against by religious laws.

Btw, the phrase "separation of church and state" is attributed to the person who wrote the declaration of independence.

All church buildings are false gods that Christians need to use to believe in their false gods that gave them these buildings. The first false gods came from viewing the false gods in the sky as God taught these gentiles to look up into the stars and use imaginary lines to connect the white dots ( stars ). These connected stars gave them building shapes to build their false gods on the earth with earthen materials. As they were digging for their materials, they found other materials that were five, six, seven and eight sided such as quartz and other minerals that we know of today. These shapes were implemented in their false gods as they built them with their human hands, against the commandments of our Creator.

Deuteronomy 4:
8: “You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
9: you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
