Answer:

government and religion are wholly distinct and can be divided as though by a physical structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wall of separation presupposes that government and religion are wholly distinct and can be divided as though by a physical structure. A strict wall would eliminate practices that even supporters of strict separation now take for granted: for instance, military chaplains and tax exemptions for religious organizations.
