Cannot disagree but I would say for two reasons. One is First Amendment  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Second, imo, is that the U.S. government was to busy trying to establish itself, and the population was to busy trying to make a living. 

That in itself wouldn't be unique, I think a more decisive factor was that the 13 colonies were places where the unwanted and those outside of the mainstream ended, so it would be difficult or impossible to impose a state religion. Same happened with Australia or New Zealand, I would say, so tolerance wasn't an option, there was just no other way to organise the place.

Note this wasn't necessarily a British thing, see South Africa, where the Apartheid was put in place at a comparatively late point in time.
