Was Religious freedom was encouraged in the Puritan colony of Massachusetts?

In the Puritan-founded colony of Massachusetts Bay, religious freedom was not encouraged in any typical 21st century sense. For the Puritans, the freedom that they enjoyed to practice their religious faith was restricted to their religious faith. Living, working, and worshipping together as a unified community, these settlers viewed "freedom" strictly in terms of the "true faith" which they alone practiced; thus, religious views were strictly monitored and enforced throughout the newly-founded community.

What are the views on religious freedom in Massachusetts?

When this question was first asked, it wasn't clear if the questioner was asking about the days of the Puritans or modern times. In the days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (the mid 1600s), there was no religious freedom. You were a Puritan (a certain denomination of Protestant Christian), or you were invited to leave. But in modern times, Massachusetts is very diverse and tolerant, with a wide range of religious groups living and working in the state. The majority are Christian (Catholics and various kinds of Protestants), but there are also Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and even some non-believers.
