The idea of keeping government out of religion is known as what?

There is a first amendment right that there is freedom of religion and that Congress will make no law to interfere with the practice of it. However, the popular phrase "separation of Church and State" itself is not in the Constitution, but comes from a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Association. They were afraid that since he was President, he would try to make his own denomination/beliefs the "official" religion of the U.S. Thomas Jefferson was writing back to them to say that they didn't have anything to worry about, any Christian denomination could worship as they wish, and that there should be "a wall of separation between church and state." I mention "Christian denomination" because in the 1800s, that's all the amendment provided protection for- Supreme Court cases in the 1800s denounce Islam as a "spurious religion." Unfortunately, those who wish to remove religion from the public square have cited this very term, a complete 180 degree redefinition of what it originally meant. Since Congress can't make laws banning religion, they just get the courts to do it.

What is a National church organization?

The term national church is usually a reference to a church organization in Christianity that claims pastoral jurisdiction over a nation[citation needed]. Sometimes the head of state is considered the ceremonial head of the national church, with the church not endorsing itself as the state religion. The term should not be confused with established church (state church): a national church differs from a state church in that a national church does not necessarily need to be officially endorsed by the state, and even may be persecuted by the government (as Orthodox churches were persecuted under communist regimes). The term national church (or independent church) is most often used within, but is not limited to, the Anglican Communion and Orthodox Christianity. For example, the Episcopal Church in the United States of America considers itself to be the national church of the United States.
