The Church of England was NOT welcomed or protected.

Yes, but you said to scratch the Episcopalians. The Episcopal Church is on good constitutional footing, as are other church bodies using the revised Book of Common Prayer in which the prayers for the Queen and Royal Family are replaced by prayers for the President and other officials of the American government. "God save the Queen" is replaced by "God save the state."

No slight against the Episcopal Church or the congregations that left the Church of England during the American Revolution.

I said "scratch the Episcopal Church" only because their existence is not a result of "Freedom of Religion" but the opposite - The Founding Fathers not allowing the Church of England to continue to require or even allow oaths of allegiance to or prays for the King. I was only making the point that some religions can be in effect unconstitutional.
