Colonial Religion: Religion was very important in colonial life. Most colonies had a dominant religion that was established by the government and followed by most people. Religion provided a set of moral and ethical codes to live by and also gave a sense of community. Puritans: Puritans were a group of English Protestants that moved to America in the early 1600s to avoid religious persecution in England. They believed in strict religious and moral standards, and wanted to create a society in America that was based on their religious beliefs. Separation of Church and State: This phrase was first used in the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1779. It means that the government should not be involved in religion, and that people have the right to practice whatever religion they choose without interference from the government.

In colonial times, some of the colonists believed in a form of predestination, which meant that they believed that everything that happened in the world had already been decided by God. The colonies were very religious, and some early colonial settlements had laws that required citizens to attend church services. The earliest churches in colonial America were built to look like barns to keep out Native Americans who were seen as a threat.
