EXPLANATION  

Current American society's practice of individual freedom of religion is related to the general pattern of religion in the 1700s in colonial culture. Christian religious groups had a very important role in each of the British colonies, in the formative years of becoming the United States. In fact, most are trying to enforce strict religious rules through government and laws.

One of these laws is mandating that every person who comes to a house of worship must pay the tax used to pay ministers. Eight of the thirteen British colonies have official churches. Anyone who tries to rebel or try to voice or spread Christianity with a different version will be punished, especially those who try to introduce other religions that will be persecuted.

Although the majority of the colonizers strongly emphasized Christianity, this did not mean that religious and cultural life was unified in one voice. Instead, there are opposing Christian groups, they even offer protection against those who disagree with the rules and regulations set. Protestant and Catholic countries are often found to prohibit or even persecute other religions. British invaders imposed strict restrictions on religion.
