  1. I think it ought to be noted that, while New England was once dominated by congregationalism, Colonial America was always much more religiously diverse than the rest of the British Empire. New York alone had 14 houses of worship representing 11 Christian denominations, plus Judaism, with much the same in Pennsylvania. Unitarianism was rapidly eclipsing Congregationalism in New England by the time of independence; Huguenots were in basically every coastal city, Maryland was mostly Catholic, Baptists were just all over the place; there were Jewish communities in New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island (until independence), Virginia (after independence), South Carolina, and Georgia; and even a scattering of Muslims.
