Neither Jefferson or any letters of his "created" the Constitutional
Principle of church state Separation
Church state separation is found in the unamended constitution directly
the religious test ban clause indirectly the rest of the unamended
constitution.

The word itself You can limit, restrict something without prohibiting it
One can limit or restrict the hours a child spends watching tv without
prohibiting them from watching tv
The only thin absolute about free exercise is belief. Yo can believe
anything you want but you aren't and never have been, even at the time of
the framing of the BORs permitted total absolute actions on those beliefs
Free-exercise clause

State Constitutions that mentioned free exercise in 1789 also had wording
that limited actions

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
256 U.S. 345, 349, 41 S.Ct. 506, 507, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (Holmes, J.).

USAF LT. COL (Ret) Buffman (Glen P. Goffin) wrote
"You pilot always into an unknown future;
facts are your only clue. Get the facts!"
That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.
It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
