Yes, Roger Williams welcomed people from other religions to his colony, Rhode Island, which he founded in 1636. He advocated for religious freedom and the separation of church and state, allowing individuals to practice their beliefs without persecution. This inclusive approach attracted various religious groups, including Quakers and Jews, making Rhode Island a refuge for those seeking religious liberty.
In Colonial Times, you did not have to be part of religion. The Rhode Island Colony was established for freedom of worshiping.

When the Massachusetts Bay Colony was established by John Winthrop, its goal was to be a "city on a hill," a religious theocracy run by and for Puritans, and one that would set a good example for Christians who would live there. Unfortunately, the Puritans turned out to be quite intolerant of not just other religions but other interpretations of Puritanism, causing people like Roger Williams to leave and establish other colonies (in Williams's case, Rhode Island).
They are important people in history because they founded the colony. Lauren
The Rhode Island colony was known for its religious tolerance and welcomed a diverse group of people, including dissenters from Puritan Massachusetts, such as Baptists, Quakers, and Jews. Founded by Roger Williams in 1636, it became a refuge for those seeking freedom from religious persecution. The colony's principles of separation of church and state attracted individuals who valued personal liberty and varied beliefs. As a result, Rhode Island became one of the most progressive colonies for its time regarding religious freedom and diversity.
