Sorry, his offhand quote doesn't make up for the actual content of the Constitution.


So we can take a letter that Jefferson wrote to a Baptist church and use it as the Establishment Clause but in no way take a letter John Adams wrote to Jefferson to show what Principles this country was founded on, according to John Adams. Shows intent by the way.

Uh, or you could just look at the plain text of the establishment clause. Our government does not endorse a specific religion, even we have an overwhelmingly Christian makeup.
