Yeah. I think what these people mean usually is that the phrase "separation of church and state" isn't in the Constitution, which is true. They heard that somewhere and repeat it. Maybe that West Wing episode where Charlie does a bit about it.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
