- Religion was important to the colonists because they only worshiped the Anglican church. Otherwise they would not tolerate non-Christian religions in their country.
Virginia's English colonists were supported by an ancient and familiar tradition – the established church. The law of the land from 1624 mandated that white Virginians worship in the Anglican church (Church of England) and support its upkeep with their taxes. Where religion was an integral part of everyday life in Virginia, the lines blurred between religious and civil authority. Virginia gentlemen, who supported establishment but disliked centralized church authority, gained control of parish vestries and county courts to secure their power over religious matters.
