The Puritans

I'm pretty it sure was the Puritains.
The individuals who accused others of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials were primarily Puritans. The Puritan community in Salem Village, Massachusetts, was characterized by strict religious beliefs and a strong emphasis on moral conduct, which contributed to the witch hunt atmosphere. The trials took place in 1692, fueled by fear, superstition, and social tensions within the Puritan society. While the Pilgrims were also Puritans, they were a separate group that settled in Plymouth and were not directly involved in the Salem trials.
They aren't. The witch trials are not an example of religious discrimination. Puritans accused fellow Puritans of being witches. It was Puritans accusing Wiccans or Catholics or any different religious group.

Mary Warren went to Salem during the day to participate in the court proceedings as one of the girls involved in the witch trials. She believed that her role as an accuser was important and felt empowered by her involvement in the trials, which were a significant social event in the community. Additionally, her presence in Salem allowed her to be part of the group dynamics that influenced the accusations and the hysteria surrounding the trials.
Salem Witch Trials had to do with a group of girls accusing women for witch craft, while in McCarthyism a man accused people for being communist.
The Christian Religion is the most infamous of the Witch Hunters, there certainly were others as well, but Christians were still burning women, children, and men, as few as a couple hundred years ago, and many Christian Zealots, who have murdered their own Children in the last few years, used such excuses as, the children were possessed by this or that, and Jesus told me to Kill them. Of Course if you're looking for the Main Sect Responsible, you must look to the Catholic Church.
Salem witch crafts were in 1962 and it was a group of people that thought they were witchs and got harshly beaten and some times hanged for beliving what they want to
The Circle Girls were a group of young girls in Salem Village who began exhibiting strange behavior in 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials. They played a role in accusing others of witchcraft, contributing to the hysteria that swept through the village.

The most prominent Puritan minister in Massachusetts at the time would either be Increase or Cotton Mather. Increase, Cotton's father, was in England trying to get the colony's charter back during most of the trials, making Cotton the most prominent that was physically there. Samuel Parris and Nicholas Noyes were the ministers in Salem Village and Salem Town respectivly, so both would have an impact on a witch crisis in Salem.
