Again, specifics req'd.I am not wrong, in his own words Jefferson said that the first amendment provided for a seperation of church and state!
Actually, he required Chaplains to be part of, and paid for, as part of military expenses.Washington supported a law saying that this nation was not founded on Christiantity!

It disproves your "separation" argument.And that proves what?
What is the source of this quote that you erroneously attribute to Jefferson?HOw can it get more clear than this?

This ignores other translations of this exact treaty that directly state otherwise. This isn't something that proves what you want it to. The Barlow translation is a largely discredited version.Treaty of Tripioli - Radified by the U.S. Senate 1797 and written in colaberation between Jefferson and Washington!
