{Interesting citations snipped for brevity's sake}

I was looking for caselaw citation rather than the opinions (one way or
the other) of historians trying to reconstruct the original intent
(usually a hopeless task) of the religious test clause.

Interestingly, some of the opinions speak of a different type of
separation, not one you likely champion. Some argue the original intent
was to keep state religious policy, including possibly inhibiting Free
Exercise, from federal control.
