Roger Williams founded the Rhode Island Colony with two major beliefs: 1) That the best leaders of a community were not necessarily the religious leaders (which eventually led to America's separation of church and state), and 2) That a community could have more than one religious faith (which eventually led to America's freedom of religion). Williams welcomed Catholics and later accepted Jews and other faiths.
