You have to understand at that time religion was the highest understanding for life itself. It was the reason for everything known to man.

Episode 2 and 3. It happened that the explorers and settlers were Catholics and Protestants. The reason for colonisation/settlement was not to spread religion.
I agree that back in the day, 1600s to 1800s, religion had much more impact in the daily lives, since it was what most people were raised on. Furthermore, there was no evidence to disprove sarcred texts.
edit: damn, ran across the 2015 election thread on RS. 34 pages in 3 months. This thread, 35 pages in one year. Where the hell did everyone go?
