America was founded by white Christians (kind of), for white Christians, although the founders were not really very religious. However, the Puritans were here, as were a lot of other Christian sects who came seeking religious freedom.

The founders wanted to separate church and state. They didn't want Popes or Archbishops running things in the name of God.

But now, we have Amy C. Barrett on Supreme Court who seems to be a throwback to the inquisition.
