    The United States was founded by people who were already upset they couldn’t be as fanatical/evangelical as they wanted.

      No, a few North American colonies were founded by people who were already upset they couldn’t be as fanatical/evangelical as they wanted.

      The United States was founded mostly by Deists and folks influenced by Enlightenment philosophy, several hundred years later.
