Government in the Sanctuary

Today I voted for the very first time in the Florida primary. In doing so, I partook in the democratic system that is our government. I assisted in electing an official that could be next the leader of the United States of America. And so I drove with my father to exercise this freedom. I went to vote...at a church.

Now this thought struck me today as quite illogical. God cannot be in our classrooms but the government can be in the sanctuary. Isn't there a divide between church and state? If we are to leave Christ out of science, history and all other school curriculum, let us at least be consistent and keep the government out of the church.
