I believe this may be the answer your looking for: The Maryland's Act of Toleration inspired the growth of religious freedom in the colonies, as it allowed tolerance to non Puritan Christians in the colony.

This act also influenced the freedom of religion that was later legislated with the creation of the United States of America.
