To be separated from the Church of England.
The pilgrims mainly settled in New England because they wanted religious freedom. The majority of the first pilgrims were either Puritans (wanted to purify Anglican church) or Separatists (wanted to separate from Anglican church). It is also important to realize that they wanted religious freedom for themselves, not other religious congregations.
The separatists sought to establish their own independent state or territory separate from the existing country or government. They often cited political, cultural, or historical differences as reasons for their desire for separation.
the early colonists escaped countries in Europe because they did not have religious freedom to seek religious freedom they sailed across the Atlantic ocean to the Americas.
Eastern Europe does not seek anything from Western Europe other than political unity and aid.

They intended to reform the English church, not seek religious freedom
Separatists believed in the idea of breaking away or separating from the Church of England, as they thought it was too corrupt and still held Catholic practices. They sought religious freedom and the ability to worship independently, which ultimately led many separatists to migrate to the New World to establish their own colonies.

"Religious toleration" may imply reluctant or paternal acceptance of 'wrong' faiths, but I am sure the intention of this question refers to religious tolerance. This occurs when the followers of a religion, and even the leaders of religion, accept that other faiths are equally valid, even if they do not believe in the tenets of those faiths.Religious tolerance exists when a Taoist priest explains his religion by starting, "We believe ...", rather than simply asserting a belief as if undisputed truth, as some others do.Religious tolerance exists when religious leaders accept the beliefs of others and do not seek to change the laws of the land to suit their own beliefs.And an ancient example of religious tolerance surely is when the pagan Roman Emperor, and therefore chief priest of the pagan faith, Severus Alexander (222-235 CE), placed the statues of Abraham and of Christ in his domestic chapel as a mark of respect for two minority religions.
