Who were the two major religious groups that lived in the New England colonies
The major religious groups were Protestant Christians, Catholics, and Quakers.

Catholics, Puritans, Seperatists, Angicans and Quackers.
The only one I know for certain is the puritans (pilgrims).
The New England colonies were primarily settled by Puritans and Pilgrims seeking religious freedom from the Church of England. These groups, particularly in Massachusetts, aimed to create a society based on their strict religious beliefs. Additionally, other settlers included tradesmen, farmers, and merchants attracted by opportunities for land and commerce. The harsh climate and rocky terrain shaped their communal and industrious way of life.
The puritans, i think
the quakers and the puritans moved from Canada to the southern colonies in 1907-1909. The move was called the far east movement. Many settlers who found they did not like the New England religious beliefs moved southward to escape their practices.
The New England colonies were primarily settled by English Puritans seeking religious freedom, as well as other English groups like the Pilgrims in Plymouth. Additionally, there were smaller numbers of Dutch, French, and Indigenous peoples in the region. The settlers aimed to establish communities based on their religious beliefs and escape persecution, leading to a predominantly English cultural and social framework in the area. Over time, this mix contributed to the development of a distinct New England identity.
Catholics make up the largest single denomination.
Most of the religious groups who settled in colonial Virginia were Anglicans and other Protestant denominations.
