In 1954 the US Supreme Court created the "Wall of Seperation" by selectively quoting Jefferson and ignoring the4 intent of the letter.
The undeniable truth is that we were a free country for the 178 years before this ruling and that we have become less free since then. It seems to me that it is religion that has allowed for liberty.

You've got the date wrong. The Supreme Court has relied on the Danbury Baptist letter since 1878, less than 90 years after the First Amendment passed. It has been the interpretation for 134 years now.

During the 1870's, the US Supreme Court, the ultimate arbiter of the Constitution, utilized the phrase "separation of church and state" in the case of Reynolds v. United States (1878). In Reynolds, the Supreme Court upheld the application of a federal law, making bigamy a crime in the territories, to a Mormon claiming polygamy was his religious duty.
The Court's opinion stated: " I contemplate with .reverence that act of the whole American people 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 and state." The Court further stated that Jefferson's term 'wall of separation between church and state' may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the [First] Amendment."

I believe that you could find a lot of black people that might argue with that statement.
