Assuming you are describing early America as it was under the realm of the King of England ... I give you the following answer.
Probably the most helpful explanation would be one given by those who endured the hardships of forming early America and there is no better work to give you vast insight to this very subject matter as that of the first Governor, William Bradford. His work "of Plymouth Plantation" will give you vast knowledge as to the lives and feelings of the people who struggled to make their way on the North American continent.
The short answer is thus... The Pilgrims had escaped Europe because of their disagreement with established church systems there. Once the King James version of biblical texts was released (1611), and studied by most men, it became apparent to some that the established church systems of the day had overstepped their authority and were not in all cases teaching according to the written word. These Pilgrims escaped Europe and came to the continent of North America. in order to be Free of religious persecution.
Loyalists would have aligned with the King of England and therefore the Church of England, and would not have been able to choose their own religion.
Patriots would have not allied with the King of England and would have not allied therefore with the Church of England, and would have had the religion, as defined by the Church of England, under the order of the king, pressed upon them.
These conditions are what contributed directly to the establishment of the 1st amendment of the American constitution.
A good reference to some of the early American works, which will aid in understanding our question more completely is a web site called Wall builders
It should be interesting to note that the 1st amendment is now being violated as the American Federal government presses upon its people the nationwide adaptation of philosopha doctrine, as the "National Doctrine", for which each American is expected to adhere to religiously.

You should be able to because it is your life, and you should be able to have whatever religion you want, though since you are not an adult (I'm assuming.) then you might not be able to choose your religion, though I'm not an expert, and I may be wrong, so you might want to research the laws regarding that.

How do you choose one monotheistic religion when there are several with equal validity and what makes that one true and all others false?
First of all, there is no reason you must choose a monotheistic religion, since there is nothing that makes monotheistic religions inherently superior to polytheistic religions such as Hinduism or some forms of Buddhism. You could, if you wish, broaden your research. Each of the Abrahmic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) is monotheistic, as are Zoroastrianism, Sikhism and others. And each claims to be the true religion. The validity of each monotheistic religion, in fact of all religions, is a matter of faith, and faith alone. In spite of earnest protestations, there is no available evidence to show that one such religion is more true than any of the others. Some say that all are false. You should simply choose a religion that you feel comfortable with, but you will never be able to know whether that was the most 'true' choice.
What did the loyalist do when the patriots throw the tea to the sea?
The King of England actually closed down Boston harbor until the tea was paid off. The expense of the tea was as much as $13 million today. The closure of the harbor caused merchants and others to not be able to pay for food and such. Other colonies worked to keep those merchants and others fed. This was one of the events through which the colonies created unity.
