You don't need to go any further that "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." to see the principle of separation of church and state laid in a religious text.

Not that it was ever followed in practice in the centuries that followed.

If I'm not mistaken this is found only in the book by the apostole who was a tax collector for Caesar. :-)
