My fellow Christians please do not be offended I say this with love.
The U.S. of A was not founded as a Christian Nation per se. Yes there were some Christian principles indoctrinated in the founding of this great country but, not as a Christian nation. America was and is a secular nation with a large Christian constituency.
The kid across the great pond was the place to go to practice religion of choice.
To practice the religion of choice became official with the first amendment to the Constitution. Those first ten amendments are known as The Bill of Rights:
Amendment I: Freedom of speech, religion, press, petition and assembly.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
May the Grace and Love of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
