How did England's state affect William Blake?

Blake lived from 1757 to 1827. During that time, England was the most powerful empire on the planet. They defeated the French first during the Seven Years' War, and then they fought Napoleon during another series of wars for most of Blake's life. England also lost the American colonies and witnessed the nearby French Revolution. It was a nation ruled by commerce, but also with a strong series of passionate religious movements. The official state church was the Church of England. but there were also Puritans, Anabaptists, Methodists, Quakers, and many other English Dissenters, which included Blake's parents.
All these had a great influence on Blake and on his art, writing, poetry, and beliefs. Blake was inspired and then disillusioned by the American and French Revolutions. Blake was anti-war and anti-elite. It has even been argued that Blake was an early anarchist. He was opposed to organized religion and strongly rejected some forms of marriage and most restrictions on human sexuality. Despite these unique views, he passionately believed in God and constructed his own theology.
