This was a long post that completely missed the point about the PURITANS. The "Founding fathers" were running around 150 years later. That's like confusing someone referencing the 1810s with the 1960s.

The Puritans are the ones that thought the church of England wasn't being theocratically authoritarian enough.

The thought that the Church of England wasn't theocratically authoritarian enough, is crazy to me. Holy hell. Literally.
