Example: Prayer in schools?
Sorry, I don't think I was clear. I meant to ask which issues are the most controversial and the most advocated by those favoring a fusion of separation of church and state. I would think it would be creationism being taught in schools, prayer in schools, and displays of religion such as the 10 Commandments outside of courthouses. What do you think?
 
Religion is a freedom guaranteed by the Constitution, and it is a freedom of choice for the individual. State are doctrines that govern all and that need to be abided by and enforced. Because of the freedom of religion it should not ever be in a position to be forced upon anyone without their express will, therefore it should not be allowed in schools.
 
While we should not take part in a theocracy, we should understand that our founding fathers had NO belief that God should have nothing to do with our governing. Many say Thomas Jefferson brought this up in congress.

The truth is is that Thomas Jefferson and all of our founding fathers believed that we should utilize our belief in God to solidify our protection of the weak and upholding the rights of all.
