@Phungus420 : It seems obvious to me religion was only a pretext for those guys, they had economical reasons as their real motivation. In fact revolts and revolution are never lead by disinterested people, even if those same people will swear they act for the good of their kind.
It seems logical those founding fathers of america mostly worked for their own good, as all other successfull revolutionary leader before (and after) them. The construction of the Great Ploutocracy of America, Defender of the Rich and Wealthy, wasn't done by idealists, that's sure. Nor by poor people.
