The framers of the Constitution said nothing about separation of church and state, the intent was to not have a state sponsored religion, like the one they came to America to escape from. The first mention of the separation of church and state is from a thank you letter from Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist group regarding his election to office. This was introduced as ''gospel'' by Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, a former kkk leader, in 1947.
