LOL, you are funny. What you said first was:

The Founders, who learned their history lessons from educated teachers, learned that the admixture of religion and politics doesn't really advance either one, and we wind up with the worst of both.

And from your own source:

Massachusetts did not disestablish its official church until 1833, more than forty years after the ratification of the First Amendment; and local official establishments of religion persisted even later.

With a little help, I'm sure you can find an adult education course that will help your reading comprehension. Then you can move up to political science and history. Good luck.

You skipped this part: "From 1780 Massachusetts had a system which required every man to belong to a church, and permitted each church to tax its members, and did not require that it be a Congregational church. This was objected to, as in practice establishing the Congregational Church, and was abolished in 1833." Requiring people to belong to a church isn't the same as a state-established church.
