Why did the Founding Fathers feel that the 'free exercise' and establishment clauses of the First Amendment were so important?

Britain had established the Church of England as its official religion. People of other beliefs were frequently persecuted for their beliefs. Many of these groups escaped Britain to settle in the New World to escape this persecution.

Therefore, throughout the colonies, there were many different religions represented with each being dominant in one or more regions. The founding fathers also recognized the strength of immigration. Remember the French and some Germans who helped during the Revolution.

These were predominantly Catholic and Protestant countries. By codifying the free exercise of religion and not permitting any future establishment of a state religion, they allowed for freedom of a type frequently not allowed and prevented (at least to some degree) future official persecution of others.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
