The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance.

I do not think this says what you think it says.

In fact, it doesn't say anything controversial at all.

"The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers"

Does this mean what i think it means?

All the Constitution says about religion is that Congress may not pass a law establishing a State Church, and neither can Congress pass laws that prohibit people from practicing religion.

The words "separation of church and state" are not in the Constitution.
