New Jersey as in the state? In early puritan times i would say in general most people were protestant. Now everyone has different beliefs because of the American melting pot.
Rhode Island was known for its acceptance of people with different religious beliefs.
the puritens where very religious! the fact that people were talking about withces scared the town
A Puritan town, like many in colonial America, would have been highly religious, with strict moral codes and a hierarchical social structure based on religious beliefs. In comparison, modern towns are generally more secular and diverse, with a focus on individual freedoms and equality regardless of religious beliefs. Additionally, modern towns are typically characterized by a more complex economy and government structure compared to the more localized and communal nature of Puritan towns.
Because some people have different beliefs then others.
Anne Hutchinson dared to question the religious authority of the Puritan ministers. She held meetings in her home, where people felt free to question religious beliefs and racial prejudice. She was a champion of the Native American people. The religious leaders kicked her out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. She resettled in Long Island with her 15 children, and they were all killed by Native Americans.
Winthrop viewed people of other religious beliefs as followers of heresy.
Being respectful to people who believe in something different from you
Great awakening = more religions More religions = more people with different beliefs more people with different beliefs = more difficult to be intolerant.
Rhode Island was founded as a direct result of the Puritan attitude toward religious toleration. Roger Williams, who was banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony for his beliefs, established Rhode Island as a place where people could practice their religion freely without interference from the government.
