Majority Say "Protect the Church"

In a poll by Ramussen Reports most Americans believe the Separation of Church and State is for the protection of the Church from the Government... This places a microscope on the ignorance of the left that I addressed (here), when I said:

Jefferson never intended for our governing bodies to be "separated" from Christianity and its principles. The "wall" was to protect the church from the state and meant as "one directional".
The purpose of the first amendment was to protect the Church, not to disestablish it.

Some excerpts from the poll synopsis.

July 21, 2005--When applying the separation of Church and State principle, 52% of Americans say that it is more important to protect the Church from the government. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 35% take the opposite view and believe it is more important to protect the government from the Church.
Perspectives on this question divide along ideological lines. Seventy-one percent (71%) of conservatives say the Church should be protected. Sixty-one percent (61%) of liberals take the opposite view.
