Division of Church & State...right?

In reading US history I have always thought that the two things that made America great, were the division on Church and State, and the belief that everyone is equal and are granted certain inalienable rights. But it seems like we are moving away from that at a very fast rate. We now have an Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, what does faith have to do with improving our communities, and why is anything Faith based being sponsored by our government? What happened to the division of Church and State? As for inalienable rights, why can’t gaye people have the same rights as straight people, to marry and divorce just like all us straights? I don’t care what you call it, a union, a con-joinment, but they should be afforded those inalienable rights. The whole reason there is a division between church and state is so that no one can use that as a reason of why someone should not be granted rights. Where does it stop? Since you have taken this very basic right away from them, will you continue to force them underground? In my mind’s eye I see two men kissing on a street corner, and a little girl stands to one side watching them intently. Her mother or father happens upon the scene, and her parent being of good Christian upbringing will balk that it is indecent for them to even embrace in a public area. With the money that is allowed to freely (and untaxed I might add, but that’s a different story) flow into these religious institutions will they then try and pass a law disallowing gaye men and women to embrace or express there emotions in public. I see what is happening and my questions to my esteemed House of Representatives and the Senate, is where do you stop? If you are so willing to ignore a large population of people in favor of your religious beliefs then where will it end? We all pay taxes, and bail out banks, and we are all struggling through an economy that was almost totally broke. I think that if you were truly honest with yourselves and you took your religious objections out of the argument, you could not argue that gaye men and women should be allowed at least a civil union. Not only that but just imagine how much money would roll into state and federal agencies when they do apply for their licenses. Or how much small business’ will be helped by them tying the knot and throwing parties. I might be oversimplifying the matter, but I think that it should be that simple. Every group has fought for rights, women for votes, blacks for votes, equality, de-segregation, and each instance religion has been at the crux of those arguments. Women should defer to men, because we weren’t smart enough and home and hearth was all we should take care of as our ministers once said. “Jesus was White” which means we as white people have lord over the blacks, and besides their brains aren’t big enough to comprehend schooling. Those were all noble causes that were once fought and won, have we learned nothing from our history? As of right now, we are all spitting on the Declaration of Independence, which maybe you need to be reminded of: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”. So, Mr. President, Representatives of the House, and Great Senators, I ask that you uphold the Declaration of Independence, because not doing so makes all of us hypocrites.
