we’re going to conquer the world for our religion that was specifically racist until 2013

It's still plenty racist.

abolish the separation of church and state

In Utah, its functionally non-existent. You don't win city dog catcher if the electorate thinks you're somehow anti-Mormon. You won't be appointed to anything, either.

the same thing as a cross or moon

Go back to when those flags were originally stitched up and you're going to find evangelical views remarkably similar to that of modern Mormons. Religious supremacy is at the heart of virtually every major surviving world religion. Putting a big cross on your flag and going out to conquer your religious rivals goes back to Constantine the Great.

It absolutely means the same thing.

The beehive isn't the significant religious symbol to Latter-day Saints that you think it is. Those of us not from Utah barely know about the symbol's relationship to the history of the Church.
