By 1763, although some colonies still maintained established churches, other colonies had accomplished a virtual revolution for religious toleration and separation of church and state. The two "established" churches at the time were the Anglican and Congregational churches. The Anglican Church was the church of the king of England. This was the official faith in Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and a part of New York.
