A formal definition of 'puritanism' is covering 'puritan' behavior
Fact is that at start of The New World practically all protestants in America had 'puritan views. Resulting in butchering Red Indians as 'barbarians' and in 'slavery'.
The protestants flying to The New World generally were not wanted in Europe and looking for a 'promised land'
'Rationalism' as logic can not be compared to 'puritanism', but 'rationalism' was a perfect tool to expres 'puritanism'.
American society became increasingly 'rational' (the law is reason without emotion)
After World War II american 'rationalism' was exported to Europe via Marshall Help
Resulting in most of the present 'power driven' political parties
