1. If I remember, Cromwell was a Puritan freak
Calling for a parliament of Puritan saints, conducting a pogrom on Irish Catholics--hardly one who kept church and state separate.

2. I've heard both. What Cromwell was really about was an end
to the divine rule of Kings and the establishment of the primacy of parliament. Anything else was subservient to that goal. As a devout puritan, he makes a pretty unlikely poster-boy for the seperation of Church and State.
