As for one man and woman - maybe because more than one wife is just too much trouble to deal with on a daily basis?
It's a fact that some theists came here to get away from.....

Religious oppression.

Some were Christian, others were not. They created a land where every individual was free to worship as they pleased and the government had nothing to do with it. This is called secularity. The statement America was founded on Christian principles is inherently false because there are no principles that exclusively apply to Christianity that don't apply to another religion. So in the same vain, you could say America was founded on Buddhist principles or Muslim principles, it doesn't matter.

Guess what it's called when the government starts making laws to benefit one particular religion....

You guessed it. Religious oppression.
