Ahh neg,
you have hit the nail on the head, sort of.
You see we USA'ers are taught that the US was founded for these Reasons(caps intentional)
Well, ok, Plymouth, and the Mass Bay Colony, were indeed founded by religious seperatists.
BUT their's was NOT A DOCTRINE OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
Thus the whole Pennsylvania thing.
The rest of the country was about the ability to make some fat cash withou having to pay the English crown.
Don't get me wrong, I love my country, (and I've lived enough other places to be able to make a VALID comparison) but saying that this country was founded for religious reasons is just plain wrong.
