Nuh-huh, From their writings we know that a few of the rebels leaders were not favorable to any religious beliefs, but most of the people favored their own religion, and feared being oppressed buy a bigger, stronger group with a different religion, like in Europe. In order to get the far flung population centers to join the revolution, the rabble rousers had to assure everyone that wouldn't happen, that the nation wouldn't impose a one size fits all religion.
However, in each state, and sometimes more than one population center within a state, the people of the majority religion oppressed, and often drove out, anyone of another faith. They even passed laws prohibiting those minorities from government and even some commerce.
So the fundamental principle was, you can fuck with others, but the feds won't let anyone fuck with you.
But she's just a cunt.
