What was the consequence in not believing in god in the colonies?

No consequence. The colonies had many religions and we have been lead to believe that they were devoted churchgoers. There aren't any hard statistics on church attendance in 17 century America, but the tax rolls can be used to determine who belonged to a church. The rolls show a small number of people listed belonging to a church. In Boston , for instance, in 1649 better than half of the adult males didn't belong to any church. In four Connecticut towns studied by historians only 15% of the adult males joined the local church in the 1670's. The truth seems to be that Americans were far too busy breaking land and building homes to worry about church.
