It's worth remembering that large groups of fundamentalist Christians left Europe to go to the "new world" to escape actual persecution or the perception that they were not free to express their form of Christianity. Culture IMHO runs very deep and lasts long after the death of the originators.

At least that’s what they told the peasants. In reality it’s all about power politics and money. Same as now. You gotta remember that for 2000 years the church was politics. Sure there were kings but who crowns the king? The church does.
