Were the New York colony's religions tolerant of other religions?

Answer 1

No they were not they were very intolerant!

A bit of background: The Puritans of 16th and 17th-century England s advocating for more "purity" of worship and doctrine, and a strict code of personal and group piety. They felt that the English Reformation had not gone far enough to purge practices associated with the Catholic Church. Puritans were the extremists of the protestant church along with similar European groups. They did not cooperate with Presbyterians in England and advocated for separation from all other Christians, in favor of churches under their control.

Answer 2

Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to "purify" the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshipping without much interference. This last sentence is total crap. They were persecuted by the C.O.E.

Answer 3

You did not provide the choices, but this one has an easy answer: the Puritans believed their duty was to "purify" Christianity; they believed that other religions were in error, and anyone who dissented from Puritan beliefs needed to be corrected.

Answer 4

Yes they were. since they were located between the catholic colony of Maryland and the puritan colonies. they had different varieties of religions.
