The New Jersey =)

New York had a mixed lot of religious sects: Dutch Reformed, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Quaker, Moravian, Baptist, and many others. The establishment of the Anglican Church was nominal at best, and disappeared with the outbreak of the war. The Constitution of 1777 made the break complete. New Jersey had no established church but had almost as many vigorous groups as New York, and its Constitution of 1776 provided for complete freedom of religion.

The situation in Maryland was unique. The Anglican Church was established by law. There were many dissenters, but there were also many wealthy Catholic leaders in the colony, and fear of the latter kept the dissenting sects quiet on the subject of the Anglicans, despite the fact that Anglican preachers in Maryland had a universally bad reputation. They were well paid out of public taxes, appointed by the governor, and often lived a life of riotous enjoyment. There was little objection to the disestablishment provided for by the bill of rights in the Maryland Constitution of 1776 which declared that no one could be compelled to go to other than a church of his own choice.
