Who set up Georgia?
1. Presbyterians
2. Catholics

Answer 1

Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe as a refuge for criminals. Along with criminals, in the early colonial times, Jews found refuge in the colony. The main church in colonial Georgia was the Anglican Church. The church constituted the most influential and largest congregation of Christians. It, though, was never the official religion of the state. - http://social.rollins.edu/wpsites/hist120/2012/12/05/religion-in-colonial-georgia/

Georgia was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe as a trustee colony and was named for King George II of Great Britain. Oglethorpe and a group of associates, many of whom had previously served with him on a prison reform committee, petitioned in 1730 to form the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America. The petition was finally approved in 1732, and the first group of colonists, led by Oglethorpe, departed for the New World in November.[1]
In 1735, two years after the Colony of Georgia had been established by Royal Charter,[2] Oglethorpe and the Trustees convinced the British House of Commons to pass an act banning slavery in the new colony,[3] legislation which after years of pressure was overturned by a new act in 1750.[4] Afterward, slavery grew in the colony, initially as labor for the coastal rice plantations. - wiki

It mainly says that the founder was Anglican but that is not one of your answer choices,

Answer 2

was he any of these religions?

Answer 3

well from what I just read Catholicism was not allowed in Georgia until 1777 so you can cross out Catholic. And the rest of the religions are against the Church of England which is Anglican. - but what you did not look at is... philanthropists is not a religion.

Philanthropy etymologically means "love of humanity" in the sense of caring, nourishing, developing and enhancing "what it is to be human" on both the benefactors' (by identifying and exercising their values in giving and volunteering) and beneficiaries' (by benefiting) parts. The most conventional modern definition is "private initiatives, for public good, focusing on quality of life". This combines the social scientific aspect developed in the 20th century with the original humanistic tradition, and serves to contrast philanthropy with business (private initiatives for private good, focusing on material prosperity) and government (public initiatives for public good, focusing on law and order).[1]
Instances of philanthropy commonly overlap with instances of charity, though not all charity is philanthropy, or vice versa. The difference commonly cited is that charity relieves the pains of social problems, whereas philanthropy attempts to solve those problems at their root causes (the difference between giving a hungry man a fish, and teaching him how to fish for himself). A person who practices philanthropy is called a philanthropist. - wiki

With this being said and knowing that Georgia was a state that held prisoners to reform their life- this would most likely be the correct answer. :)
