OK, but that doesn't mean that most settlers came here to evade  
religious persecution.

A lot of what you are discussing is just a side effect of the  
religious beliefs of the people who came here to work.

For example, I live in Tidewater, and most of the colonies here,  
nearly 100% of them, were chartered businesses, not religious refugee  
camps.

*ALL* people who came to American during colonization brought a lot of  
strong religious beliefs with them.
