What role did religion have in changing the American identity

Explanation:

Religion can be a central part of one's identity. For some, a religion's theological beliefs and rituals of worship are central to their lives. Others are more drawn to a religion's community and culture than to its beliefs and rituals.

As colonies were established, lack of religious tolerance in some of them led to the banishing of some settlers, which in turn led to the settling of more colonies with greater religious tolerance. This created homogeneous, as well as diverse, colonies.
