How can I summarize this, like rewrite this as a thesis statement? (5-6 sentences)! The reason that Religious Freedom was important was to assure that the harms of the British Government could not be repeated. Christian religious groups played an influential role in the British Colonies, and they were the ones who mostly tried attempting to enforce strict religious observance through both colony governments and local towns. People/Americans who fought for Religious Freedom were Roger Williams, Richard Allen, Lucrettia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Sitting Bull, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther king Jr. It is the first amendment, and even though most people are powerless to defend themselves when their freedom is threatened, which that shouldn't be the case, because if you believe in something and someone doesn't believe in the same thing as you, well you shouldn't hate them for that, but instead protect your Religion, protect what you believe in, instead of hating them back, just because of the different beliefs, etc.
