The Puritans who founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 1600s did not believe in "complete freedom of religion" where such freedom involves the individual's right to form his or her own views. By contrast, they believed in the freedom to practice their Christian faith as it ought to be practiced, namely, as they practiced it. Adherence to the Puritan understanding and outlook was thus strictly enforced throughout the New World settlement.
