RELIGIOUS FREEDOM is the main reason.
They escaped dominating governments which dictated what you should believe.
The founding fathers of the United States believed in the God of The Bible, prayed and clung to the belief that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, despite what others may say.
Their quotes and writings can be found on www.wallbuilders.com
The phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the constitution, Bill of Rights or the First Amendment as most Americans suppose. It was in a letter written from one man to another, that's it!
Hope this helps.
