Roger Williams

The founder of Providence was the first to see that religious freedom, and separation of church and state, was intimately connected with political freedom.
Behind a firewall, but this Nation article that provides a summary of the author's book is quite interesting. The idea "separation of church and state" is just something Jefferson said in some letter alone warrants more education on this guy. See also, Liberty of Conscience.
