The Pilgrims were the early English settlers of New England. The first group settled on what is now Plymouth in Massachusettes, in December of 1620.
The early Pilgrims included many "Separatists." These people once belonged to the body of English Protestants known as "Puritans." The Puritans wished to adopt reforms that would purify the Church of England, the nation's official church. The Separatists decided that they could not reform the church from within. They separated from the church and set up their own congregations.
After agreement that the group would establish an English Colony, a group of English merchants agreed to their expedition to the New World, that would become the United States of America.

Massachusetts Bay Colony was created in 1628 by the Massachusetts Bay Company. The colony was mainly settled by Puritans who incorporated their belief into the governing of the colony. As a result, there was religious intolerance in the colony.
Contrary to popular belief and myth paganism is not the most recognized religion of Massachusetts. More than 1/2 of the state of Massachusetts is Roman Catholic.
