  • Thats .05 of the reason. The real reason is [u]freedom[/u] of religion. So next time don't go off ranting about Christians finding a new religion cause we don't tolerate those disgusting -blam!-

  • No, that is the ENTIRE reason. Even through logic it should be obvious. How would England oppress their religion when the colonists are a minimum of 6 months away on the most dangerous voyage on the planet?

    No, taxation without representation was the first and foremost reason the United States declared independence. Sure, religious persecution (mostly Christians by other denominations of Christians) caused a bunch of people to come fleeing to America, but that's not why we're a country. Interesting fact, most of the foremost founding fathers were deists, not christians. This nation was founded under the principle that all men are created equal, and so they should deserve equal treatment by their government. [spoiler]Also, I believe Nix meant find a new job, not religion. Lol.[/spoiler]
