If we go back to the Puritans, a group that left England because of religious persecution and yearned for religious liberty, what did they do when they came to North America? They established a colony, immediately put down religious laws, and then persecuted anyone who didn't follow their dogma. Maybe our founding fathers were Christians, but they also were smart enough to see what religion dictated by the state did to society, and wanted to do something better. The wall of separation, by the way, doesn't JUST protect the state from religion, it also protects religion from the state. All these Christian Nationalists don't seem to know or willfully ignore what running our nation by church law would do to the state AND their religion. Eventually, one sect or group of sects will take over, and anyone not in those particular sects will be denounced as not Christian, then be shunned at best and persecuted at worst.
