In a US context, separation of church and state very simply means that the US does not have an official state religion and that government cannot discriminate on the basis of religion.

Lawmakers are human beings whose job is often to deal with ethical questions. Most of those human beings are religious, and their religion is the major source of their ethical philosophy. It's not possible, nor even desirable, to demand that human beings ignore their ethical philosophy when crafting laws.
