Best Answer

The Puritans viewed society as full of sinners unworthy of God's love. They believed it was necessary to try to be as righteous as possible, so that God might save you from eternal damnation. They viewed society harshly, and believed they should be punished, rather than counseled, if they fell short of moral expectations.
