Additional support for Barton's interpretation of "separation of church and state" would be the establishment or attempt to establish a statewide religion by a governor or a state legislature. Do you know if there is any such evidence? I don't know where to begin to look.
I did a search on "state religion" in Wikipedea and found that numerous states had establihed state religions including Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
