But seriously, do you actually prefer church and state to be mixed? Has that ever worked well (especially in the long run)? For anyone?

You can call this partisan bullshit if you want, but I don't think it can be argued that very specific religious groups have pushed, and are pushing, for legislation or court decisions tailored to narrow interest groups based on religion. Hell, most of them, in fact, are very proud of it and wouldn't deny it.
