This is a very insightful way to construct this thought.
I will be using it.
very good
many of the Europeans that came to America in the 1600s (all of my family) risked everything to escape tyrannical kings or religious persecution
the protestant reformation was a very bloody affair
I think it was Dr. D.J. Kennedy who stated, "America began as a church relocation project"
I have also heard it said that the American Revolution was blessed because of its Christian roots, but the French Revolution (about the same time period) was cursed because of its political roots.
