It is somewhat ironic that the Puritans, who came here to seek religious tolerance, had very little for others. Jews were not welcome, nor were Catholics, and even fellow Protestants had to conform to a Puritan interpretation of scripture. That is one reason why Roger Williams (who was a Christian minister) had to leave Massachusetts; he believed in a separation of church and state, and this was not a view that the Puritans welcomed. Williams ultimately founded the state of Rhode Island, a far more tolerant state as far as allowing members of other religions to live and worship.
