What were the rules in Rhode island in colonial times?

Rhode Island was created by dissenters who challenged the
rigidity of the Puritan religion. They believed in a separation
between Church and State, whereas the Puritans believed in running
the state through the Church. Settlers needed to be tolerant of
other religions, this was a key principle of the colony.
