When the Massachusetts Bay colony was founded, the dominant religion was a Protestant denomination of Christianity called Puritanism. Eventually, other kinds of Protestants came to Massachusetts, and so did Catholics and Jews. Today, greater Boston's dominant religion is Catholicism, but Massachusetts as a state has a large number of Protestants (of all kinds), as well as a sizeable number of Jews. There are also communities of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, and several other faiths.
