Before christerism was defange an declawed during the enlightenment it spread itself by the sword, as in inquisitions and crusades , even in America the witch trials. Up until the last century it was pogroms, etc
Granted, evangelical Christianity met with opposition within the church, the Rationalists (Anglicans/Church of England) wishing to maintain their ways, the Evangelicals promoting a more personal, Biblical brand of the faith, and then witnessing their movement sweep America and England (George Whitefield pretty much kickstarted it).
Both Evangelical Christianity and mainline Christianity were integral to American life by the time of the founding, having already been a part of it for a century and a half.
Treatises of the Enlightenment thinkers as well as sermons of the Enlightenment preachers were both published extensively in pamphlet form before the war.
