Sorry, yes this is correct in the sense that at the founding this wasn't the bargain per se but a result from the separation. It should be noted that what taxes the government could levy were also not determined entirely at the founding. As you have mentioned, the exemptions to religious institutions go back to colonial times, pre-constitution.
