"Locke is the enlightenment figure who influenced our ideas of government and he was a Christian and he founded his beliefs about religious and intellectual liberty on religious arguments, namely that salvation is by faith and faith requires belief which cannot be compelled:"

Interesting that you chose Locke. You do know that it was his ideas on toleration of different religions and their relationship to the state led to our separation of church and state? Now, true, his ideas were restricted to Christian religions, but he was the one who promoted the idea that government and religion were two separate realms.
