“...a Christian, mostly Protestant religious foundation”

Not just Protestant...but a very specific flavor. Backwoods hillbilly hardcore and hardscrabble. At the time, Ulster Presbyterianism.

40%+/- of Washington’s enlisted troops and the Over the Mountain Men in the Carolinas were of the same ilk just as example.

“A Hessian captain, fighting on behalf of the British, told a friend in Germany in 1778, “call this war, dearest friend, by whatsoever name you may, only call it not an American Revolution, it is nothing more nor less than an Irish-Scotch Presbyterian Rebellion.”

More in Journal of American Revolution.

Google Scottish Enlightenment (Adam Smith) and Scots Reformation (John Knox) if you seek the kernels of our liberties and American character.
