He's talking about here in the US, where the concept of wall between church and state was rather important to the original framers of the Constitution, and played a heavy role in the crafting of the First Amendment.

And good luck trying to talk to Jik about his "Christianity". He doesn't seem to have a firm enough theology to actually address. His gold standard, the Bible, specifically speaks about the sins of homosexuality, yet he washes it away with a few token verses. It just goes to show what you can show the Bible "says" by cherry-picking your verses.
