Everything else are grandiose fluff or smoke and mirrors.
The only reason why propertied classes would think this way was because London foolishly did their bidding and evicted the French from Canada during the war of 1756, and therefore they no long felt beholden to London for major caliber protection against a real foreign power.

Christians want freedom of religion for the exact same reason why the malicious provacateurs would want the freedom to shout fire in a crowded theater. They want it not so other creeds can stand as equals to them, they wanted so they can pursue their own agenda of atavistic dominance without scrutiny from other creeds.
You should read the entire post, I said something similar without being a prude.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
