I doubt that any religious affiliations have ever escaped persecution. From Mormons to Buddhists, Catholics to Puritans...all have in some way faced persecution at least once throughout history.
Religious toleration was not practiced in Puritan communities in the 1600s. Puritans believed in a strict interpretation of Christianity and sought to create communities based on their religious beliefs. Those who did not conform to their beliefs were often persecuted or expelled from the community.
The Puritans were persecuted for religious reasons.
Saints who die for their faith are typically referred to as martyrs. Martyrs are individuals who are persecuted, tortured, or killed for their religious beliefs or principles. They are esteemed as heroic figures within their religious communities.
It is if you die for your faith. For example, if you lived somewhere where people persecuted you for your faith and you died for standing up for and not rebuking your faith and they killed you. then you would be a martyr of faith
to be persecuted is to be harassed in a tormenting manner because of race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. in example, in civil war times, southern whites persecuted blacks.

Its religous toleration was a major factor in making America attractive to persecuted religious minorities.
