Several colonies made Anglicanism the official faith by law, including Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas in British North America. These colonies had a significant Anglican presence and were established with the support of the Church of England. The laws mandating Anglicanism as the official religion were eventually repealed after the American Revolution.
Although there was no dominant religion in the southern colonies, the main beliefs were those of the Anglican and Baptist faith. Most of the colonies practiced religious tolerance, however, Virginia was not tolerant of non-Christian religions, and mandated worship at the Anglican church..
Jamestown, established in 1607, did not offer true religious freedom. The colony was primarily established for economic purposes, and the Church of England was the dominant religious institution. While there were some instances of religious tolerance, especially towards dissenters from the Church, the overall environment was not one of open religious freedom as seen in later colonies like Pennsylvania. Religious practices were largely governed by the laws and norms of the Anglican Church.
Most settlers of the thirteen colonies primarily disagreed with the practices of the Anglican Church, the established church in England. Many colonists sought religious freedom, leading to the establishment of various dissenting groups, such as Puritans, Quakers, and Baptists, who sought to escape the perceived rigidity and corruption of Anglicanism. This quest for religious liberty was a significant factor in the founding of several colonies, particularly Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
