<<We read the constitution differently. I read there is to be a separation of church and state.>>

You may want to read it again. The Constitution clearly prohibits the government from interfering in the free exercise of religion, but it nowhere deals with the issue of religion influencing politics. As you said, the founding fathers were deists, and their beliefs absolutely influenced their actions and their politics.
