Reasons for loyalists not wanting to separate during American Revolution?

I need 6 reasons. I already have five, which are:

1. Britain protected us at war

2. Bible says that inequality should exist between men and women, and king and his people

3. Socially unstable to separate and afraid of changes

4. We thrived under Britain and they supported us

5. British root and family

I need a good sixth reason and I can't think of anything. Also, for this sixth reason, I need an example of what a patriot would have said to oppose this loyalist reasoning. Thank you for any help.

    Leave the Bible out. That isn't relevant and was NEVER used as a reason. That's a fringe idea that doesn't hold up. There are historians that would dispute that notion rather vehemently as far as Canadian Loyalists are concerned.

    They didn't support the radical ideals of the American revolutionaries.

    Didn't want to be involved in the conflict and simply wanted to get on with business and life

    Loyal to the crown.

    Trade. Britain was by far the biggest customer, and supplier for things in the colonies.
