Best Answer

In ancient times, the people of Britain were followers of the Roman pagan religion and Druidism. Christianity started early in Britain, and the first Christians were of the Celtic Christian Church. The English started to convert to Christianity in large numbers with the mission of St. Augustine of Canterbury, who was a Catholic. The Celtic and Catholic Churches, if they were ever truly separate, merged during the 8th century. Vikings brought in their own brand of paganism, and were eventually also converted to Christianity.

What is the largest religion in the Middle Ages?

Christianity was the dominant religion in Europe during the middle ages, but was certainly not the only religion practiced in Europe, nor was Christianity a homogeneous body during the period. Christianity divided into the Western and Eastern Churches in the schism of 1054. There were also Muslims, Jews, and Pagans in Europe during the middle ages. Muslims had conquered the Iberian peninsula during the early 8th century and were not fully expelled by Christians until the end of the 15th century. Parts of Northern and Eastern Europe remained pagan until the 13th century. There were Jewish populations at various locations all throughout the middle ages as well, although they were always minority groups living within other societies.


The puritans in Massachusetts believed in complete freedom of religion?

The Puritans who founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 1600s did not believe in "complete freedom of religion" where such freedom involves the individual's right to form his or her own views. By contrast, they believed in the freedom to practice their Christian faith as it ought to be practiced, namely, as they practiced it. Adherence to the Puritan understanding and outlook was thus strictly enforced throughout the New World settlement.
