Before the French Revolution, Catholicism was the established religion in France and was closely associated with the state and the monarchy.
The French Revolution took steps to radically disestablish the Catholic Church, setting up a new established “secular” church with seized church property, elected bishops, and a new non-Catholic calendar, to name just a few things, instead.
While some of the British colonies that ultimately joined the U.S. had established churches, there was not a national consensus, and there wasn’t the strong sense of alignment between church and state. Several of the original U.S. states had religious refuguees and dissenters as important formative populations — the Puritans, the Quakers, and Methodists among them. So disestablishing any particular church wasn’t as big an issue for the Founders. That was the status quo at the fedreal level.
The legacies remain. The French state actively seeks to secularize public life, while the Americans merely seek governmental neturality towards religion.
