The separation of church and state isn't what you think it is. A bill was passed, I believe in 1793, authorizing the printing, purchase, and distribution of Bibles. The people that created this nation were involved in that, if there was a wall, they didn't build it.
This country was created as a Christian nation, what the founding fathers didn't want, was an "official" state religion - Protestant, Methodist, Episcopal, whatever - that could be used as a weapon against competing sects, the way things worked in Europe.
