Religion should have nothing to officially do with state other than that some of its representatives are free to practice it and they lend that freedom to all of their constituents regardless of their religions or lack thereof.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states:
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."
Regardless of what these men want, the US is a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

Rome as a Republic ruled the known world (Around the Mediterranean) and switched a Democratic entity, grew base and fell as an empire...
The U.S. is doing the same thing, is crumbling and will fall....!
