“I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death”
— George Carlin

Simplified Meaning:
The speaker believes that religion and government should stay separate. They think both can cause problems individually, and mixing them would make things even worse. For example, consider a town where the mayor tries to pass laws based on his religious beliefs. People who don't share those beliefs may feel unfairly treated, leading to conflicts. By keeping government decisions separate from religious rules, everyone can feel included and respected. This advice helps ensure a fair society where personal beliefs don't dictate public policy.
