A majority of the original thirteen States had established churches, and that clause was intended to protect their already established churches. Massachusetts, for example, did not disestablish the Congregational Church until the 1840's. And some interpretations of Christianity were suppressed, e.g. the Catholic Church and in the 1800's the Mormon Church. <br /><br />Toleration among Christians (and Jews) is really a late 20th Century thing. I can remember sitting in my high school homeroom in the 1950's in Boston and listening to a Protestant bigot tell the room full of Catholics and Jews that everyone used the King James bible, and then he would read to us from it.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-91746166856639647522014-04-17T15:34:37.591-07:002014-04-17T15:34:37.591-07:00Thought you might find this interesting...
