Which religious affiliation do you think had the biggest influence regarding the colonization of the eastern seaboard states of America and also had the largest effect on what caused the American Revolution and the signing of the Declaration of Independence?

Too bad the protestant church and ways these days bear no resemblance to 18th century belief and mindset. The Founding Fathers would be appalled at what passes for religious belief and action these days. No resemblance whatsoever.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".
this country was not founded on any religion, if anything it was just the opposite.

Too bad this Government has been such a failure at following that rule they made ptsum.
Look at all they did to to push/force their Abrahamic religious persuasions on your ancestors. Well, the ones they hadn't killed, anyway.
The 18th Amendment (Prohibition) was more adhered to.
They STILL do it. If you want something, anything, to be heavily "established"...make laws exempting it from taxation.
I find it very interesting that our Nation's capital was carved out of the US states of VIRGINia and MARYland (Virgin Mary). We have SEVERAL major cities that are named after saints. Our largest state is full of cities that are named after saints in Spanish; the largest city in Cali is the Angels. The capital of that state is a sacrament.
The official language of our science is Latin. Our most popular sport (NFL) uses Roman Numerals to identify its championship game. The American Express credit card has a Roman Soldier's photo on it. The phrases "God has favored" and "A new order of the ages" are printed in Latin on every US Dollar bill. The English word "Government" comes from the two Latin words Guber Mente (which means mind control in English).
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Roman Catholicism was behind much of this Nation's colonization.
