OK. I'll bite. How did they get it wrong?
I think they support the constitution on that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Do you have anything to indicate or support your position that "liberals" do not support that? What are you referring to that they "got wrong"?

Yeah, 50+ yrs of misquoting and misusing the phrase; Separation of Church and State. To the point people actually believe it is illegal to put a Nativity scene on public property, after all it's in the Constitution right? Rolling Eyes

THOMAS JEFFERSON'S PRESIDENCY
Unlike his predecessors Presidents Washington and Adams, Thomas Jefferson opposed Presidential proclamations for prayer, fasting and thanksgiving. Well-known for his unorthodox religious opinions as well as for his liberal views on religious liberty and the separation of church and state, Jefferson was the writer of Virginia's Statute for Religious Freedom, which ended all practice of state-supported religion in Virginia when it was enacted into law in 1786.

Jefferson was the one who coined the phrase "wall of separation between Church and State" in a letter he wrote to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802, in which he described his understanding of the meaning of the religious clauses of the First Amendment.


EVERSON V. BOARD OF EDUCATION (1947)
The Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the separation of church and state and used Jefferson's letter for the court opinion. Justice Black said, "That wall must be kept high and impregnable." Most of the Supreme Court's church-state decisions handed down since this case have been grounded in the Everson standard.
