Best Answer

The Puritans wanted to purify the Roman Catholic religion. " They believed that man existed for the glory of God, that his first concern in life was to do God's will and so to receive future happiness. They believed that Jesus Christ was the center of public and personal affairs, and was to be exalted above all other names." according to The Oxford History of the American People by Samuel Morison.
