Because it retained the catholic faith and they wanted a Calvinist one!
There were other Separatist's, in 1570, the Roman Church started at Trent reared its head in England after the pope's Bull, declaring a Holy war against Elizabeth. These latter were frustrated because the Church in England wouldn't support the Roman Pontiff in his political adventures. i.e. Putting a foreign king on the English Throne!

Why did the separatists leave England and go to Holland and then the new world?
They wanted to find religious freedom. People in England had to follow the Church of England, which was led by the king, King Henry VIII. That meant people had to follow his rules and laws. Some people, called separatists, wanted to break away from the church and create their own church. So the separatists went to America to practice their religious beliefs. They were also known as the Puritans. They did not grant religious freedom to others who did not share their religious beliefs.
Were did the puritans come from?
The Puritans were from England. They believed that the Church of England was too much like the Catholic Church. They settled in what became Massachusetts and revived what they believed was the proper form of Anglican Protestantism.
Was a Pilgrim a Puritan?
Pilgrims were Puritans, albeit a specific kind. In the 17th century, many people felt that the Church of England should get rid of all traces of the Roman Catholic Church, which it had broken away from, that the Church should be "purified". These people were called Puritans. There was a group of Puritans who were even more extreme, they said that the Church of England was too corrupt to ever be purified, and that Puritans should completely separate from it. These people were called separatists. A group of separatists finally left the Church and England altogether, and moved to Holland. However, they feared that their children were becoming "too Dutch", so they left Holland and set up a colony in the New World, Plymouth. These people were the Pilgrims.
Why did the separatists who came to America call themselves pilgrims?
The pilgrims were known as separatists because they did not believe in the teachings of the English church so they SEPERATED from it. They did this by coming to the Americas and starting their own colonies.
Why did the puritan separatists decide to establish a colony in the new world?
The Separatists left Europe for the Americas because they were extremely critical of the Church of England and the Catholic church. They first moved to a settlement in Holland, but felt after a time that control over their children was being lost so they decided to leave for a place further away and separated from everyone else. This led to the settlement of the Plymouth Colony.

This was because the New England colonies were comprised of Puritans and Separatists. The Puritans wanted to reform the church, while the Separatists wanted to break away from the church and set up their own churches.In the Middle Colonies were the people called the Quakers. These people are/were very tolerant of everyone's beliefs regarding life and religious views, hope you found this helpful :)
Why were Separatists important?
"The Separatists, or Independents, were English Protestants who occupied the extreme wing of Puritanism. The Separatists were severely critical of the Church of England and wanted to either destroy it or separate from it. Their chief complaint was that too many elements of the Roman Catholic Church had been retained, such as the ecclesiastical courts, clerical vestments, altars and the practice of kneeling. The Separatists were also critical of the lax standards of public behavior, citing widespread drunkenness and the failure of many to keep the Sabbath properly. Referring to themselves as the Saints, the Separatists believed that they had been elected by God for salvation (see Calvinism) and feared spiritual contamination if they worshiped with those outside of their congregations, often referred to as the Strangers. In 1608, a community of English separatists decided to escape persecution by moving to Holland, an area long known for its toleration. Dutch society was so welcoming that the Pilgrims, as they had come to be known, eventually feared that they were losing control over their children. In 1620, they set out for a more remote location that would allow them to protect their community. This effort resulted in the founding of Plymouth Colony. Other contemporary religious dissenters, the Puritans, believed that the Church of England was badly in need of reform, but could be salvaged." THIS IS NOT MY WORK
