Ugh, bored.
It was first used as a term in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802, specifially, "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."
He talked about this a lot in his opposition of government intervention in religion and its practice.
In the 1st amendment it says this... "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
In no place is it written we shall protect the non-believers. There is only reference to the freedom to practice beliefs without the government being involved.
