That is an ahistorical take that is more appropriate for our times than it would have been in the 17th and 18th centuries. The colonies were steeped in religious identity and it was woven into the most aspects of society (see events like The Great Awakening) This video (really anything from Wall Builders is great) and A Patriot's History of the United States Ch. 1 & 2 for more info.
