The founders attended church in the US Capitol building, wanted the Bible in schools (which continued for >150 years) and mixed church and state in countless other ways. Its absurd that they wanted separation.
The idea for the separation (as we know it today) began in 1947, and was a radical twisting of a letter by Jefferson. The letter was not even an official document, Jefferson was not even in the US when the 1st Amendment was written, and not ONE person present used that phrase.
