THERE IS NO SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE.
That didn't make it into the constitutional amendments because when it was debated they realized the wording was flawed. What made it was "there shall be no state sponsored religion"
the important difference is that with no state sponsored religion, the gov't IS NOT BANNED from involving itself for the protection of religious groups. This means the gov't can protect the sanctity of marriage, the right to openly celebrate holidays, The whole x=mas tree on state land thing? You're right to practice your religion doesn't stop because you work for the state! etc.
It's true, the Gov't can't say:
There is no god
There is only one god
Jesus was the final prophet
The bible should/should not be taken literally
However, these Athiest, who's goal is subjugating America to their religion, are unwilling to accept that, so they use a nonexistent law to attack all who disagree with them. This is why the wording did not make it into the constitution! Because it would allow for facism.
As for carrying a handgun into a church in VIRGINIA. well, its an unusual situation. You see, churches are private property so they have the right to disbar/allow firearms. If the church has given you permission to have firearms, or its doctrine includes responsibility to self defence or the like, then that is 'good and sufficent reason'. If you are of the same dinomination as the church, it doesn't preach an responsibility to self defence, but you believe this to be important to your religion, then that is 'good and sufficient reason'. So the only persons actually affected by this law are non-deciples of the given church, and then only as that they need expressed permission instead of expressed denial(as with most private property). And even if you were not a deciple, and you didn't have permission, and after you were caught and the Priest/Pastor/Minister said something to the effect of "all gods children have the right to protect themselves from evil" he would be effectively extending the churches beliefs to encompass you, AND protection of sanctuary, nullifying the charge. Just remember there are some anti-gun ministers out there.
