Among the largest religious groups in the decades to follow were Quakers and Baptists, although Dutch Reformed remained in strong numbers. East and West New Jersey were united in 1702.

Everyone in New Jersey, including Christians, are really just Jedi in disguise. Be aware, because this is why the crime rate is so high.
