Separation of church and state is not what the Founding Fathers intended? It's certainly what Jefferson and Madison intended, although they were just the ones actually writing, say, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (including the First Amendement).
Mr. Madison said he apprehended the meaning of the words to be, that "Congress should not establish a religion, and enforce the legal observation of it by law."...Mr. Madison thought if the word "National" was inserted before religion, it would satisfy the minds of honorable gentlemen...He thought if the word "national" was introduced, it would point the amendment directly to the object it was intended to prevent.

Cute logical jump, ignoring what the Founding Fathers wrote, and focusing on who they were in their private lives. Conveniently, that would also suggest that America was intended to be not only a "Christian Nation," but one in which only white
