Although church and state issues may appear separated (the constitutionality regarding the 'separation of church and state' is a fallacy, definitely not in the Constitution - even in the First Amendment and check here! - origin of the term), in reality they are inseparable. 

Look for yourself at the Constitution and the Amendments to the Constitution!  No mention of the terms.

The state needs the church for inhibition of immoral behavior toward the citizens. 

In the early days, as a more moral population was being governed, we had little need for strong masters as the people constrained their actions in fear of God's displeasure, family and public shame, and fear of punishment. Government did not need to be large. Today, the scenery is much different. Maybe we now need more governmental controls to adequately constrain increasing evil in today's society.   Or, we need revival.

Benjamin Franklin in 1787 said "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters".

Why is there increasing evil in our society? The church, mandated by God to oppose this, has failed.

Some pages will be featured on both church and state categories and content will include both.  The separation here is simply to direct surfers to their area of particular interest, although Christian living always is paramount..
