Religious freedom is one of the claims to fame that my country has.

One of the oldest ideas in Western statecraft is that you can't have a country with religious diversity. So when a town became protestant all the catholics had to leave and vice versa. But in the Netherlands the leaders devised a sort of "diversity is strength" policy tolerating all kinds of weirdos as long as they paid taxes and didn't disturb the peace. This is how Jews ended up in Amsterdam.

However the real crazies who did not want to function in society ended up in America.
