The concept of freedom of religious tolerance of speech caused the Founders to think about declaring independence because religion played a major role in the American Revolution by offering a moral threat for opposition to the British and assurance to the average American that revolution was justified in the sight of God. Another example of how freedom of religious tolerance led to the revolutionary war is the First Great Awakening, a religious movement that swept through the American colonies and Protestant countries in Europe in the early eighteenth century, as a sort of preview for the American Revolution. One more example in religion was the key to the founding of a number of the colonies. Many were founded on the principle of religious liberty. The New England colonies were founded to provide a place for the Puritans to practice their religious beliefs. The puritans did not give freedom of religion to others, especially non-believers.
