Separation of Church and Bible???

As I continue to listen to both sides discuss the separation of church and state and hear the "reasoning" to be very different, yet the end results sound the same. And what I have truly come to believe is this is nothing more than a red herring or tangent causing many to miss the greater fear, which is the separation of the American church and the Bible. But, I guess religious America has to choose to miss that point, because if we actually recognized the Bible in it's literal simplicity, look at all the real uproar there would be. If we really believed our laws were based upon the Ten Commandments, then judges wouldn't be removed from the bench for giving everyone "fair warning" as to how he would arrive at his decision. And, most do not know, but it was in fact possible for the Republican Governor of that state to reappoint him, but he didn't. So what are our laws based upon and what are the beliefs of the self-proclaimed pro-faith party? What book does the pro-faith religion believe?
And how in the world would doctors stay in business, and nurses keep jobs, and let's not forget the pharmaceutical companies, if religious people believed the Bible and quit going to them? Shouldn't that be a profession utilized only by unbelievers? How do religious doctors interpret the Bible, or are more of our religious doctors of a different faith, that use a different book? I have had many discussions with many people as they defend the man they place their faith in. Do you know most religious Americans think G~d needs help restoring health? They really don't believe He can do it Himself.
How did we stay so religious and get so far from Bible truth? There has always been a math equation that I just cannot figure out and I have been part of that "unstable variable" myself. How can so many people have made a "decision for Christ" and continue to put their faith in the same places unbelievers do? How can a person that claims to have faith in G~d seek help from someone who either doesn't believe or believes something contrary to the claims of the American church? How did so many people hear so much evangelism and yet have such a social decline? What if children were raised according to Biblical standards? That wouldn't just change the behavior of the children, now would it? But when they did rebel, they would at least know what they were rebelling from.
How is it, that people who believe the Bible literally, get "corrected and challenged" by members of the American church?
What would happen, if "moral" America spent the same time in the Bible that is spent listening to "liberal slamming" radio? What would happen if we all spent the same time praying that we do in waiting rooms or pharmacies? What would happen if we followed G~d's instructions as diligently as we do phone prompts? What if the American population that says they believe in G~d and believe the Bible, and stand against evolution, really believed He is still the All Powerful, Almighty Creator?
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
