Religion was a huge factor in the revolution from departing from England. By the time of the American Revolution, they believed church should be separate from state, similar to the French revolution. However, in the early years of the American colonies, some of them required everyone to follow the same religious beliefs and practices.
Let's take a moment and review the similarities between the two events: The French commoners brought up a new rising they were tired of the unfair majority of the Aristocrats and Church controlling the power of offering the majority since the Church wasn't taxed laws were passed unfairly effecting the 98% of the population the commoners. To answer your question Religion played a very big part of our countries beginnings. Deism was also popular during this time; the most famous deist was Thomas Jefferson. The first documents were created for the separation from England and laws to be passed these laws all were within the beliefs of the first colonists. Many of the colonists were Christians however Church attendance was the lowest it had ever been and many didn't want similar problems to occur in the new nation.
