    Look at the nutjobs that were the backbone of what became America. Basically a bunch of puritan nutjobs who didn’t like how laissez faire England was becoming so they hopped on the boat to America so they could make their puritanical paradise.

    Y’all are just noticing it now which is a failure of the education system. Then again we already know this.

    Thoughts and prayers to America 🙏🏾

      You’re not wrong. It wasn’t for “freedom of religion”, it was for freedom of their religion.

        Yup. They fled to escape religious persecution and then promptly did it themselves when they got here.

      The puritans were run out of England after how badly they ran it during the interregum. It was the Netherlands from whence they fled religious tolerance.
