You sir, do not understand the constitution.

You know it is possible to be a member of a church and a member of government and still have church and govenrment seperate.

Just like its possible to be a member of a golf and country club and also a knitting club. If you have knitting club members in your golf and country club, it doesn't mean they are going to replace all the golf balls with balls of yarn.
