Answer 11

Government was NOT to be Independent of God or the Church

Thomas Jefferson said: "In matters of religion, I have considered that its free exercise is placed by the Constitution independent of the powers of the general government. I have therefore undertaken on no occasion to prescribe the religious exercises suited to it; but have left them as the Constitution found them, under the direction and discipline of State or Church authorities acknowledged by the several religious societies."  -- Second Inaugural Address, 1805. ME 3:378 (emphasis added)

Thomas Jefferson: '...I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people [the First Amendment] which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man [God], and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.' -- Jan. 1. 1802. [emphasis added]....... And the Document is called, The    Wall-of-Separation.

Do you hear the ACLU or liberal judges or certain anti-religious pro-choice or homosexual activists saying "...tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem."? On the contrary, their attitudes are clearly unconstitutional, hostile and discriminatory, unlike Thomas Jefferson.
