Being told how, and what you worship, is indoctrination. They were persecuted, because because they chose their faith despite it. It doesn't matter what religion is right, and it doesn't matter if you don't like someone else's beliefs, due to naivety, or simple bigotry. The founders came here to escape all that stuff in Europe, and create a utopia for the faithful. No one was going to tell the people of this utopia, what god, or deity they bound their life with. It doesn't matter what the religion of the founders were, they made it, that no one can hinder your faith. You can't be persecuted, or hindered for your religion, and you can't persecute, and hinder with religion. There is no favoring of religion, no matter how compatible it may be.
If you can't get that, you're a brick wall.
