Not really. The Puritans weren't exactly persecuted (at least not to the degree that they had to flee from their country), they wanted to persecute the catholics. They were zealots and simply wanted to convert England.

Well, as far as your post implied, you were simply talking about the original settlement of the Americas. Further, our developement into an actual country is clearly a secular developement, very much seperated from religion. Our declaration of independence and our entire foundation as a democracy is based within the attitudes of the Age of Reason, not religiousity. We're talking Locke, not Luther.

agreed.



If the country wasn’t base on democracy, we wouldn’t have the senate, branches of governments, checks and balance, house of rep, and etc.



The Greek were base on democracy as well. The concept of balancing the power was very similar to US during that time.
