And separation of church from state does not violate religious freedom in America?

First off it is not separation of church from the state it says the state can not establish a religion. It is a one way street religious people can influence the government as long as it doesn't affect another person's first amendment rights
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

We, the people, are the government because we make the laws of society. Laws are basically moral rules that people agree to live by. Since morality is informed by religion, all people within society are impacted by those religious edicts. For example, killing and stealing are violations of rules of world religions. Secular rules have nothing to do with morality. They are mainly meant for regulating the way we interact in the public space. Traffic regulations are examples of secular rules.

China does not have religious freedom -- just ask any member of the various oppressed religions.

The government is the people, and the people are us. We don't have an obligation to provide any education that is not of the kind we want for our own children. To each his own. In a free society, let parents pay for the education for their own kids.
The government has an obligation to provide a non-sectarian, general education to its children, not to fund religious, ethnic, or racial indoctrination for kids.

Where does The Constitution say "seperation of church and state"?

That means that Congress should not stick its nose into the regulation of religion.
The first clause in the Bill of Rights states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
