Its the latter. I've heard countless conservative arguments from friends as well as television commentators (its like there is a conservative mother brain telling people what to say, lol). Anyway, these type of conservative think that seperation of Church and State comes from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote, ignoring the fact that he wrote the Constitution and he was using seperation of church and state to describe what he wrote, or the fact that many other presidents and founding fathers used the words seperation of church and state as well.
It would be like arguing with JK Rowling over the meaning of a Harry Potter book.
