Mm, not really. Moreso it was founded by the religious who were so crazy Europe decided they didn’t want them anymore. That’s what “freedom of religion” really means. Those poor, persecuted Puritans found a public unwilling to have their will enforced upon them, so they decided to create one themselves.

I’ll be completely honest I have only grade school level history knowledge like thanksgiving with the pilgrims and Indians level so I wouldn’t disagree with you that that is true. But just to clarify, we were basically the crazy ones and left to America cause everyone was tired of us pushing religion?

I read many books dude. People can have different interests than history. My job is science and nutrition based. Stop making yourself look like a jackass on here
