The fact it’s had to go that far is psychotic. Country was founded on freedom of religion. What do the Christians do? “Oh this means freedom from other religions” and proceed to take systemically take everything over and force their religion down everyones throats. While at the same time claiming that the LGBTQ community is the ones doing the shoving.

Single most dangerous cult on the planet is Christianity.

The country was founded of freedom of religion by the fanatics who were too fanatical for England.

Which is the line perpetuated by England and hardly based in reality.

In reality they were pretty moderate Christians who just believed that religion was a private matter and the governments involvement in it was abhorrent. Did they use their religion to beat anyone to death who got in their way? Yeah. But so did everyone else. They were no more fanatical than the Church of England. They just had a different opinion of how religion should go about being made.

They were fairly puritan however. That much is true. That’s why most of white North America freaks the hell out at seeing nipples on a woman in public.

The Founders were steeped in the Age of Enlightenment. Modern Americans wouldn’t even recognize it as Christianity. Like The Jefferson Bible

… completed in 1820 by cutting and pasting with a razor and glue numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson’s condensed composition excludes all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels that contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages that portray Jesus as divine.

You could label their morality puritanical but I think cynicism would also equally apply. If you view humans as naturally greedy and selfish, society needs to codify expected behavior to keep it in check.
