How do you seperate church and state in a government of the people and by the people without ultimately making religion illegal?

My example before was the school voucher system. Alot of parents liked it and immediately sought to send there students to their preffered schools, many were religious schools....becuase checks were cut by the government the voucher sysytem was held to be an illegal blending of church and state.

This in effect told parents that the attempt to give children their religious values in education was illegal.
