America is one of the few countries where formal religious affiliation and church going has increased in the last centuries. Religiosity has decreased throughout Europe and most of the rest of the world. In 1776 however, compared to the rest of the world, religiosity in the American Colonies was very sparce, especially since a number of the colonies had been founded by religious sects to obtain religious freedom.
