Not just the English- it was James 1 that nearly exploded. Also 
the plot was performed for sectarian reasons, rather than any sort 
of liberal ideals (The conspirators were all Catholic).Originally
Bonfire Night was celebrated as a way of spreading and reinforcing
anti-catholicism. Those Whacky Christians!
