Because they practiced freedom of religion did not mean that they condoned freedom from religion. That concept was not yet developed as human right among colonists. The accepted early colonists were all trinitarian protestants. It would take time to become an all inclusive society where Catholics were welcome, longer for Judaism to be accepted and much longer for agnostics and atheist's to be welcomed.
