None; the middle colonies had a very diverse religious population.
Strong Christian influence
Some French colonies had strong independence movements.
Regionalism was a strong feature of early colonial development due to the diverse geographical, cultural, and economic conditions of different areas. Colonies often adapted to their local environments, leading to distinct regional identities and practices, such as the agricultural focus of the Southern colonies versus the trade-oriented economies of the Northern colonies. Additionally, regional differences in governance, social structures, and interactions with Indigenous populations further reinforced these divisions, shaping the political and economic landscape of early America. This regionalism laid the groundwork for future conflicts and the eventual development of a more unified national identity.
Spanish influence was extremely strong in the Philippines during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The Puritans had the most influence in the Northern colonies, particularly in New England. Their emphasis on a strict moral code, community governance, and a strong work ethic shaped the social, political, and religious landscape of the region. Puritan beliefs also fostered a commitment to education and civic responsibility, leading to the establishment of schools and town meetings. This influence laid the groundwork for many of the cultural and ethical norms that would persist in American society.
The Roman Catholic Church had a strong influence on the development of Latin American colonies. Missionaries played a key role in converting the indigenous populations to Christianity and establishing social and political structures in the region. The Church's influence extended to areas such as education, governance, and cultural practices.
The dominance of Islam as the official religion in Central Asia shows a strong cultural influence from the Arabs.
Religious life in the colonies was marked by a strong influence of Protestantism, particularly among the Puritans in New England and Anglicans in the Southern colonies. Religious freedom was often limited, with colonies like Massachusetts Bay enforcing strict religious conformity. However, the Middle colonies, such as Pennsylvania, were more tolerant and diverse in terms of religious beliefs.
The most important religion is the Eastern Orthodox - approx. 90 %. Also exist catholics, protestants and a great number of sectarians (they are under a strong and nocive external influence).
Some historians suggested that the protestant practice of the church self-goverment helped the development of democratic practices. For example john Calvin allowed his followers to share in the governing of the church. They did this though a body of leaders and ministers called presbytery. This practice had a strong influence on puritans and Presbyterians both whom settled in English colonies.
Barcelona is in Spain, which is a primarily Catholic country. There is, however, a strong historical and cultural influence of Islam in Spain, particularly in the South.
Well Spain for sure as most of Latin America speaks Spanish.
The main influences on the social development of Filipino children include family dynamics, cultural values, and societal norms. Strong emphasis on respect for elders, close-knit family structures, and the influence of religion often shape their social interactions and behavior. Additionally, exposure to media and technology plays a role in shaping their social development.
