^Uhm, they didn't settle to create the US. They settled as a colony of England, which has a state religion. The founding of the United States happened way later. And the seperation of church and state is clearly recognized in the US Constitution.

They settled as a colony of England, which has a state religion. The pilgrims and puritans settled in the new continent as a means to break free from the restricted state religion of England. Religion played a great role in the Revolution by offering a moral sanction for the opposition of the British. I wasn't referring to the development of the country of US because for obvious reasons there are to be no ties between the government and religion. The constitution is a secular piece of writing. I was plainly referring to the settlement of the colonies as a nation-state (for that definition refer to Benedict Arnold's writting on nationalism and nation-states), that the colonies were formed under the basis of religion. And without such settlment you cannot notedly argue that there would even be an America today. Dip shits...
