First, in 1636 the colony that became Rhode Island passed a series of laws that prohibited religious persecution including against non-Trinitarians. Then, April 21, 1649, The Maryland Colony passed The Maryland Toleration Act, also known as the Act Concerning Religion, mandating religious tolerance for Trinitarian Christians. So, in effect, whether you believed in the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Ghost) or not, you were protected. The British Act of Toleration of 1689, the Holy Experiment in Pennsylvania, and laws concerning religion in other colonies such as South Carolina, followed these early laws.
