Answer:

There should be a clear separation of church and state.

Step-by-step explanation:

He believed that the government should be kept separate from the practice of religion, as laid out in the First Amendment. He famously wrote in a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut expressing his views on the matter, “I contemplate with sovereign 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 & State.”
