Final answer:
The American Revolution was 'revolutionary' concerning religion by creating a 'wall of separation' between church and state, embodied in the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The American Revolution was "revolutionary" in its handling of religion in the sense that it laid the foundation for a secular state where a "wall of separation" between the church and state was established. This concept is most clearly expressed in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the making of any law 'respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' The founders' vision was demonstrated further by various state constitutions and was a break from previous entanglements between religious institutions and the government, which typically favored certain denominations, and at times, even imposed penalties on those who did not conform, such as English Catholics during the Revolutionary Settlement.
