Were colonist free to practice their own religion?

Answer 1

The colonists practiced the same religions found in the modern United States, but typically more conservatively than currently. Puritanism, Methodism, Presbyterianism, Catholicism, and Anglicanism/Episcopalianism were the dominant faiths. Minority faiths included Deism and Judaism.

Answer 2

my answer is yes this is why

The Puritans founded the NORTHERN colonies of New England. Puritanism evolved from the Protestant Reformation in England after King Henry VIII outlawed the Catholic Church in order to control religion in his country. Not all New England colonists were Puritans, but the Puritan religion was a major influence in the seventeenth-century New England way of life. In the last half of the seventeenth century the Quakers began to populate Massachusetts. Quakers believe that neither preachers nor Bibles are necessary to worship God, which is the polar opposite of the Puritan religion. Many New England communities treated Quakers poorly and many Quakers saw acts of violence inflicted on them in the name of God.

Religion in the SOUTHERN colonies was not practiced with the enthusiasm that it was in New England. While most colonists of the south were Anglicans, their true faith lay in their tobacco plantations. The same was true for the Catholic founders of Maryland. As their population grew, Protestants began to outnumber Catholics, though the Catholics continued to hold the power and influence. Just as in the other southern colonies, religion eventually took a back seat to tobacco in Maryland it talks about church in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
