Interesting fact: a major group fighting for the first amendment when these things were being discussed? The evangelicals.
The first amendment not only protects the state from the church, but also protects the church from the state. For a lot of "founding fathers," they saw the first amendment as a way to maintain the purity of their religion without corruption from the political sphere.
Just goes to show how core ideas can change drastically over time.
