Maryland was established for this exact purpose.
There were many issues that the protestants and Catholics disagreed about. Catholic art responded to the reformation by depicting the issues that were being challenged. So in Catholic art you will find the virgin Mary or art depicting the dogma of the immaculate conception or saints eg Saint Catherine being welcomed into heaven. In general Protestant art tended to avoid: grandiose images of Jesus or the Virgin Mary; big set-piece scenes from the Bible (like the Passion of Christ); images of the Saints; and, in particular, depictions of the Popes and other senior clergy. Instead, Protestant art focused on humble depictions of biblical scenes and moralistic depictions of contemporary everyday life.
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.
In the colony of Georgia, there was no specific religion. All religions were welcome, even wanted. The only exception were Roman Catholics, which were not welcomed due to the religious wars fought in England.
On the whole, German immigrants to the US were welcomed. It is possible that Catholic Germans had a harder time than German Protestants. During World War 1, however, there was anti-German hysteria in all the English-speaking countries, not just the US.
Welcomed Catholics
any religion was welcomed even wanted but the roman catholics were not welcomed
To ensure Marlyands's continued growth,Lord Baltimore welcomed Protestants as well as Catholics to the colony.Later on, Lord Baltimore came to fear that Protestants might try to deprive Catholics of their right to worship freely. In 1649, he asked the assembly to pass an Act Of Toleration. The act provided religious freedom for all Chistians. As in Many Colonies,this freedom did not extend to Jews.

All types of religion were welcomed but they did not accept Roman Catholics due to religious wars fought earlier.

When the British Army was first called in to quell the situation in the British territory of Northern Ireland, the Catholics actually welcomed their presence, believing they would be a neutral force as opposed to the RUC and B-Specials, which were made up of Protestants, and the pro-British Protestant community wanted them sent back to the mainland, upset at the disbanding of the B-Specials.
The main reason was that the Irish immigrants were Catholics. This was an era when nativists in the United States were mainly from the Protestant religion, and they wanted only Protestants (and preferably, descendants or relatives of the original colonists), to be citizens. Nativists held many stereotypes about the Catholic faith, including the erroneous belief that Catholics worshiped the pope and would thus not be loyal to the United States. Therefore, the arrival of the Irish was not welcomed by some Americans, who believed these immigrants were members of the wrong religion and would not make a positive contribution to the United States.
its welcome, not welcomed
