Let me try one more time...
I have a Mosque. My religion tells me that non-Muslims are infidels that need to be eliminated or subjugated. I support terrorists who are known to kill American citizens here and overseas. I solicit donations from my mosque members to give money so that I can support these terrorists.
The founders consider this a legitimate practice of the freedom of religion ?

I'd say yes to all EXCEPT the connection of monies for terrorists/foreign powers; that is outright treason. Do you have any reason to think otherwise? Remember, these same Founders were all given sentences of death by the British, when this WAS a British territory and they were actively rebelling. It's why I think they recognized our God-given right to free speech and freedom of assembly.
Calling for overthrow of the Government was their actions that brought them the sentences of death; that same freedom - to call for the toppling of the Government - should be protected. When you act on it, though, you become an enemy of the Government and should rightfully expect repercussions and retaliation.
