Question

In this excerpt from Anne Bradstreet's "Before the Death of One of Her Children", which evidence supports the claim that religion was an important topic for colonial authors?

How soon, my Dear, death may my steps attend.
How soon't may be thy lot to lose thy friend,
We both are ignorant, yet love bids me.
These farewell lines to recommend to thee,
That when that knot's untied that made us one,
I may seem thine, who in effect am none.
And if I see not half my days that's due,
What nature would, God grant to yours and you;
The many faults that well you know.

Answer 1

"knot's untied that made us one" and "God grant to yours and you"

(If you're looking for two answers)

Answer 2

“God grant to yours and you” is the evidence that supports the claim that religion was an important topic for colonial authors.

Christianity and colonialism are often closely associated because Catholicism and Protestantism were the religions of the European colonial powers and acted in many ways as the "religious arm" of those powers.
