Religious Heritage
- Main Article: U.S. religious heritage
Many of the colonies that in 1776 became the United States of America were settled by men and women of deep religious convictions who in the seventeenth century crossed the Atlantic Ocean to practice their faith freely. Most American statesmen, when they began to form new governments at the state and national levels, shared the convictions of most of their constituents that religion was, to quote Alexis de Tocqueville's observation, indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions. The Founders of the American nation went to great lengths to define the role of religious faith in public life and the degree to which it could be supported by public officials.[1]
