I agree with this up to one sticking point. When the American Colonies were under British rule, there was only one religion mandated by the King. True it was "Christian" but every citizen had to pay homage to the Church of England (Thanks to Henry VII). Which basically ment that if you were Jewish, Baptist, Muslim or Heaven forbid Catholic, you were considered a heretic.
A major example, in 1774 when the Virginia House of Burgess voted to declare a day of "Fasting, Humiliation, and Prayer" in support of the Massachusetts Colony following the sanctions impose in response to the "Tea Party". The Royal Governor disbanded the House. "Because only the King can declare a religious day"
