The colonization of North America had various motivations, including economic, political, and religious factors. While religious motivations played a role, such as the desire to spread Christianity, it cannot be said that the colonization was primarily a religious endeavor. Economic considerations, such as the pursuit of wealth and trade, were equally important in driving colonization.
