The growth of new churches in the colonies during the mid 1700s led to

( A ) religious conflict among the groups

Religion played a major role in the American Revolution by offering a moral sanction for opposition to the British, an assurance to the average American that revolution was justified in the sight of God. As a recent scholar has observed, "by turning colonial resistance into a righteous cause, and by crying the message to all ranks in all parts of the colonies, ministers did the work of secular radicalism and did it better."
