The correspondance you're speaking of was Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists which is said:
I think he makes his idea of what that law should stand for relatively obvious here.
Also, to say it's not in law is a fallacy as well. The Supreme Court used that exact phrase in one of their rulings.

well there are plenty of other supreme court rulings and/or mentions of it, mostly for separation but some not
either way it's hard to agree that the separation wouldn't be for the best
