And innumerable massacres were relevant, relatively recent history for them. They viewed the United States as a fresh start, free from the religious turmoil that still roiled Europe. No state religion. Do whatever you like. Just don't hurt anyone in the process. That's their thoughts in a nut shell. And they were smart enough to know all that magical stuff, talking snakes, burning bushes, zombies, was all bullshit. Jefferson cut all that clap trap out of one of his copies of the KJV leaving a pretty good blueprint to live by.

Unfortunately, ignorance and tribalism are damn tough to kill.
