The founders did not want government and institutional religion interfering in the realm of the other's responsibility. The result has become that the USA is the freest nation in the world concerning religion and that organized religion cannot dictate by government force what those who believe differently must do.
What a wonderful blessing the Constitution is to the religious freedom of all Americans.

Their new strategy is to misrepresent the founders by misquoting them or taking quotes out of context to intentionally distort their original meaning. A good example is this oft cited quote by John Adams:
Twenty times, in the course of my late reading, have I been upon the point of breaking out, "This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it!!!"
But this quote fragment distorts the main point Adams was making. Quoting from Adam's letter (shown below) he actually said:
Twenty times, in the course of my late reading, have I been upon the point of breaking out, "This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it!!!" But in this exclamatic I should have been as fanatical as (Parson) Bryant or (Pedagogue) Cleverly. Without religion this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company, I mean Hell. (emphasis added)
The founders did not want an established national religion. That's it. They allowed for state established religions. They encouraged the expression of religious faith. And they almost universally sought to encourage religious belief as essential for good governance and citizenship.
Nobody asked for an example of why the two shouldn't be mixed, you disengenuous liar.
I have asked, over a series of day, for evidence that the founding fathers wanted religion controlled, as you have stated.
Give it another 20 years, and they'll be as ineffectual in American politics as they are at controlling morality in the U.S.
Michael Kazin: The End Of The Christian Right | The New Republic
Key points...
the Christian Right is fighting a losing battle with the rest of the countryabove all, when it comes to abortion and same-sex marriage, the issues they care most about. A strong majority of Americans backs abortion in the early months of a pregnancy.
Meanwhile, support for gay rights is rising, quite swiftly. Same-sex marriage tops fifty percent in some recent polls, and the remarkably placid response to New Yorks recent legalization of the practice will make it easier for other states to follow suit. With over two-thirds of Americans now endorsing the end of Dont Ask, Dont Tell, the debate on that once controversial issue is now a matter for historians to analyze.
Put simply, the Christian Right is getting old. According to the largest and most recent study we have of American religion and politics, by Robert D. Putnam and David E. Campbell, almost twice as many people 18 to 29 confess to no faith at all as adhere to evangelical Protestantism. Young people who have attended college, a growing percentage of the population, are more secular still.
Last gasps of a dying subculture...
The founding fathers did not want religion controlled by the government.
Nothing indicates they desired institutional religion to control or influence government.
Any who are knotheads over this issue need to read and ponder the 6th Article and 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

Uh...nobody said they did?
