The Carolinas started out more or less together as a commercial venture, that did and to this day does, make a difference.

Many of the northern colonies were started for reasons of religion. South Carolina was for economics. In those northern colonies, religion was important enough that the officials of the state mandated certain beliefs or would persecute those that didn't comply.
South Carolina's founders were here for money, not religion, so they allowed more freedom. The Church of England was still the state church, but they didn't persecute others. Each city had to have a central spot for an Anglican church, but everything else was fine.

There was a point at which the Baptists in one state in the north moved as a group down to South Carolina. They established multiple churches and they flourished in the freedom.

To this day South Carolina is a stronghold for Baptists and other religious groups.
