"It is not a matter of religion...This is about our nations safety."
Let me see if I understand your position correctly.  We should ignore one aspect of American ideology, ie. the separation of church and state, and only focus on another aspect of American interest, ie. national safety?  Nor should anyone consider the possible violation of the Constitution by a guy who just swore a little over a week ago to "preserve, defend and protect" the Constitution because of his alleged good intent?
