It is the same church. The Anglicans just divide the administration of their church by country, and we became a different country. The Apostolic Succession still applies. Oh, and the Unitarians? Two of the first six to hold the office of President were Unitarians.
And the Anglican Community has considered expelling the Episcopal Church. The Unitarians have never been numerous and definitely have never represented the opinions of the majority of Americans...now or then.
The point is that it DOESN'T MATTER! HAVE your religion, PLEASE! Just don't presume. The Founders certainly didn't, at least in the statement of the principles on which they founded this nation. They were not perfect at following their own stated principles of government, but things have gotten better since then, and are still getting better, and still have a way to go. You can get with it, or be an obstacle to progress. That's up to you.
