  This is true. See the medieval crusades for an England related version of this...... Also, did the original American settlers have a religion, or were they atheist? You know, they that were here when Columbus' Crew came across.

  Most early cultures are essentially theocracies, and those of North America were no different. While the specifics could vary quite dramatically from tribe to tribe, I believe that all the native peoples had some common threads in their overall spiritual views. Joseph Campbell writes about a lot of them.
