"Free men of all sorts gave their all to win our independence."

The one binding bond that kept the American Revolution alive was the drive to be liberated from England's religious bondages.

I give you this opening to demonstrat that religious freedom (not the freedom from religion)) was the driving force behind the Revolution.

And all of the benefits that came with freedom of religion followed.

Never were the Ten Commandments, The Bible, or confidence and faith that Almighty God had led these people to America in question - never.

There were many reasons listed in the DOI.

not the freedom from religion

Are you implying that majorities through government should be able to impose religion upon unwilling minorities?

Would you penalize those who had the 'wrong' beliefs?

Would you force citizens to pay tithes or attend church against their will?
