Though religious toleration was becoming even more popular in the colonies, there was still lots of discrimination and unequal representation. This oppression of certain religions, especially Jews, was a certain mirror to slavery.
The tradition of an anti-Catholicism America was deeply degraded by the War of Independence. With the Second Continental Congress granting safety to those living in Quebec who joined in the struggle against the British, religious tolerance, and the alliance with a predominantly Catholic French nation, Catholicism gained some ground.
Jefferson drafted up a Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom in 1779. This bill eliminated religious requirements for voting, stopped government funding of churches, and barred the state from "forcing" people to adopt a certain religion.
A sharp line was drawn between public authority and the realm defined as "private," only reinforcing the notion that rights exist as restraints on the power of government. The effort of religious freedom gave an impetus for the influence of religion in America. Religious freedom came to be another justification as to why the United States was a beacon of liberty.

A serial comma should be used for the two following reasons:
<u>1. </u><u>It should be used before a coordinating conjunction (before </u><u><em>and </em></u><u>or </u><u><em>or </em></u><u>) with three or more items. For example:</u>
- I bought fruit, vegetables, and bread.
- I went to the cinema, to the supermarket, to the post office, and to the bank.
<u>2. </u><u>In order to avoid ambiguity and confusion. For example:</u>
- I talked to my parents, Rebecca and Luis.
- I talked to my parents, Rebecca, and Luis.
(In the first sentence, we assume that the writer's parents are Rebecca and Luis, while in the second one we assume that the speaker talked to four different people, to his/her two parents, to Rebecca and to Luis. So, the use of the serial comma is the only way to lead the reader to the correct conclusion.)
