I see this as semantics. The sentence in question was whether or not "religious liberty" was initially just a euphemism for "our brand of intolerance." And demonstrably it was in the beginning.

"The Puritans and Pilgrims arrived in New England in the early 1600s after suffering religious persecution in England. However, the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony didn’t tolerate any opposing religious views. Catholics, Quakers and other non-Puritans were banned from the colony."

The fact that this got marginally better as we approach the penning of the Bill of Rights doesn't detract from the very real fact that the Pilgrims were incredibly intolerant of other religions. If you'd perhaps said that this got better as time went on or something like that, I'd have no issue, but instead you said that I was "demonstrably wrong" for saying that - when in fact it was you who were demonstrably wrong. And rather than admit that, you've gone off on a tangent about Thomas Jefferson. 🙄
