Reason2012:
But at least you admit there's no such thing as "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. I'll save you claiming that and remind you when you bring it up again in the future.

TheKingOfRhye:
But there is. The Establishment Clause puts it there. Don't believe me?

"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church
& State." - Thomas Jefferson

"Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Govt in the Constitution of the United States the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history." - James Madison

Reason2012:
You're citing a president, not the Constitution, which shows you're just being dishonest.

Meanwhile, what you point out is a Pastor wrote a letter to Jefferson expressing his fears that Jefferson would in some way restrict religious freedoms. In response to these fears, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter back to indicate that he would in no way restrict the freedom of religious expression because he saw a wall of separation between church and state. It means the opposite of what the left tries to twist it into: that He would in no way restrict religion, not that it would instead be censored except where atheists give their permission.

TheKingOfRhye:
If you have a "wall of separation", both sides are separated from the other. So, it works BOTH ways.
