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.

Where do you think the establishment clause came from? It wasn't in the Constitution. And the intent was not to endorse a certain denomination of Faith over another, since ALL of the signers belong to different denominations

You realize that:
1 - the Constitution was for the states to reign in/limit the Fed, not the other way around
2 - the states can do whatever they want
