As wrong as you can possibly be. In typical use, "freedom from religion" means that there is no trace of religion in the public whatsoever. No one may be exposed to the "taint" of religion.

And, of course, it doesn't mean "freedom from religion". It actually means "freedom from Judeo-Christianity", since the adherents of the "freedom from religion" movement certainly don't oppose islamic, humanistic, or naturistic movements. It just turns into an "anything goes" society.

The wall of separation Jefferson spoke of was not as tall and impenetrable as the one we have now is. In his context, the king was also the titular head of the Church of England. In primitive societies, the ruler was often viewed as a god, and his word was divine. The vast majority of our founding fathers were christians. They realized that divine law was, and is, the best basis for a rational, civilized society.
