Separation of church and state is both the first amendment and a clause in article six of the constitution:
First Amendment:
article six
Thomas Jefferson's use of the words "separation of church and state" was to explain the purpose of the first amendment specifically but the actual legal text of the constitution is worded broadly enough to cover not only separation of church and state but separation of mosque/synagogue/ect and state rather than singling out Christianity.
Ahh, then you just engage in a narrow interpretation of it, hence allowing the combination of church and state.
