Separation of church and state for the 1st isn't there either.

It is. Last line:

Congress may not favour one religion over another (separation of church and state)

Granted that's the supreme court interpretation rather than the actual text, but it's still there at least.

It’s not in the actual text is what he’s saying

Instead of listening to an online dipshit that says "it's not in the text, durr", even though it has been explained to them time and time again, I prefer to listen to the man WHO WROTE THE GODDAMNED AMENDMENT, Thomas Jefferson, as he explains in a letter to the Danbury Baptists that the establishment clause builds a wall of separation between church and state.

I'm sure this isn't the first time you've been schooled, nor will it be the last. I don't put up with theocracy horseshit from muslims, I'm not going to put up with it from christians, either.

James Madison wrote the 1st amendment along with the rest of the initial Bill of Rights. And several of the states had state backed churches, since the 1st amendment applied to congress. The fact that it has been perverted to exclude religion from practically all public areas of life is just that, perversion of the founders intent. Hur durr indeed.
