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.
