It completely disproves your position. Then there's the truth behind
the Jefferson quote you like to pervert for your agenda. That
disproves your position as well.

And, oh, here's Washington's take on religion & politics:

"If I could now conceive that the general government might ever be so
administered as to render the liberty of conscience insecure, I beg you
will be persuaded, that no one would be more zealous than myself to
establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and
every species of religious persecution... [E]very man, conducting
himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his
religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity
according to the dictates of his own conscience."
