the irony behind the puritans intolerance stems from the fact that they left their country and sailed to America to escape intolerance of their religious beliefs. But when they get to America they persecute others just as they had been persecuted. So they're hypocrites....

The Puritans had a one sided view of the Church of England. They were not very tolerant of other forms of Protestantism.

Why have the Puritans failed to convert the Indians?

The Puritans failed to convert the Native Americans due to cultural differences, lack of mutual understanding, and conflicting beliefs. The Native Americans already had their own spiritual beliefs and traditions which made it challenging for the Puritans to convert them to Christianity. Additionally, the Puritans often used coercive and aggressive tactics which further alienated the Native Americans.

What problems resulted because puritans did not believe in religious?

Puritanism actually came about because of objections that the Church of England was too tolerant of views associated with the Catholic Church. Like many with strong religious views, they were intolerant of the religious views held by others, but were constrained by being in a minority in England and were themselves treated with considerable intolerance. One would expect that their experiences in England would cause the Puritans to adopt a more tolerant attitude in New England, but the Puritans wanted everyone to worship in the Puritan way. In order to ensure that Puritanism dominated the colonies, nonconformists were fined, banished, whipped, and even imprisoned for not conforming to the way of the Puritans. There was an element of profiteering in this movement, but the underlying theme was one of intolerance of those with whom they might disagree. Puritans were at the forefront of the witchhunts that resulted in the Salem witch trials.
