It shows that George Mason's thinking was more in line with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison's than it was with Patrick Henry's.

The quoted amendment he proposed seems to be precisely what the 1st is presently interpreted to mean.

I don't think George Mason supports your view of the 1st, but instead supported the view of Madison and Jefferson.

It doesn’t matter who he agreed with. It has nothing to do with the Bill of Rights or the First Amendment.
