He also thinks getting in office is to punish a portion of the population, not protect the whole. Kenneth thinks the same way. Kinda like lil Nazis.

Wrong - The reason was to protect the country from events like the 30 years war In Europe.

That's right--it's freedom OF religion(choice to observe one or not), not freedom FROM religion. When Henry VIII broke with Rome(in order to divorce Anne Boleyn) he declared himself head of the church of England. The US founders escaped the monarch's insistence that everyone must attend the state church--Anglicanism. Those who refused were called non-conformists, and for at least a century paid heavy fines for not attending the Church of England. In the 1700s rules were relaxed and other denominations, Methodists, Baptists, etc. were permitted to build their own chapels. English Catholics continued to suffer harsh repression of religion until the 1830s.
