  49.  @TheHuggybear516  The Founders were very well aware of the political schisms perpetrated in the name of faith, whether it was the English Reformation, Protestant Reformation, the control over Europe by the Roman Empire, Papal Schism, secret societies, guilds, and wars. They recognized the benefits of common faith, morals, and fabric necessary to hold a new Nation together, while despising other men dictating the specific practices to political subjects like was done in Europe. England underwent their Reformation in the 1500s because of Henry VIII, then recoiled back into Catholicism under his daughter Mary for 5 years (1553-1558), with executions of the King's court and 280 Protestants burned at the stake who helped advise him to betray Catholicism. Then after she died, England went back to Anglicanism under his other daughter Elizabeth I, who ruled for 44yrs and cemented Anglicanism into the English monarchy and government. Puritans fled to Switzerland during Bloody Mary's reign, hence where the Geneva Bible comes from, then returned to England once she was gone. Puritans did not like Kings telling them which Church they must belong to and attend, and were a mix of political and pious non-conformists. Puritans saw Anglicanism as basically English Catholicism, and maintained that the English Reformation needed to get back to more pure principles contained in the Bible. Puritans were fragmented into factions of right wing dogmatic types, countered by left wing sectarians like the Quakers. While most Puritans remained within Anglican congregations practicing diluted forms of non-conformity, the Separatists held their own local meetings so they could practice their faith without influence from any Catholic-Anglican rituals. This led to their persecution under various English edicts, prompting for many of them to flee to Holland, then to the New World on the Mayflower. Their original goal was to land in what is now Virginia, but they of course ended up in Massachusetts. Children of the New England Puritans were the most literate and educated of any in the world due to their Latin Houses and Dame Houses, because they wanted their posterity to be able to discern for themselves light and truth from darkness. Anglican British colonists settled in Virginia afterwards and expanded their lands, eventually filling New Amsterdam, Boston, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. There was a bit of religious friction and persecution of Quakers, Baptists, Catholics, and non-believers in the Colonies up through and even after the Revolution. This is why the Founders agreed on separation of Church and State. They had lived through and studied the repeated problems of Church-State governments that marginalized otherwise good citizens. It's a fascinating history. Henry VIII is just as much of a progenitor of the US as the commonly-referenced men of the 1700s.
