Your initial question wasn't which faiths practiced tolerance of other faiths. It was skepticism that our representative form of government with built-in checks and balances was founded on the principles Calvin set down in Geneva which was itself based on Scriptural tenets.
Your premise has been proven to be incorrect....again.

Oh, I remember that from my American History books. Wait! -- no I don't.

"Your initial question wasn't which faiths practiced tolerance of other faiths." Oh, Bull!. You made a statement out of the ether that the concept of the separation of Church and state was an invention of Calvin. I thoroughly disproved that and proved that the concept existed at least two thousand years before Calvin's birth. Now you are just trying to revise the history of the discussion like you tried to distort the history of the concept.
