The push to abolish taxes used to support the Anglican Church in Virginia was primarily led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. They advocated for religious freedom and the separation of church and state, culminating in the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1786. This statute effectively eliminated the tax that supported the Anglican Church, reflecting the growing sentiment for religious liberty in the newly formed United States.
