I think the most important part of keeping it separate is that the country is not allowed to become a religious state, if it were allowed then eventually we could end up having one religion dictate the laws that govern our lives, as an example see Iran. You may say that this is an extreme and I would agree, but if the country took that path then over time who knows what could happen... I am definitely for the separation and I am very glad that the courts have interpreted it so.
Besides that, I put the christian fundamentalist on the same level as the muslim fundamentalist, they are both nuts. Mostly the christian fundamentalist are the ones pushing for the integration, the mere thought of it makes me shiver.
