Many didn't allow other religions to practice. That is one of the fallacies that is written about the reason for establishing the colonies. To be able to vote the requirements were that they had to be a male over 21, own land, and be a member of the church. Church membership was very low in the colonies and very few went to church. The population of Boston had 60% of the eligible males not attending a church. Our founding colonial people were too busy to go to church.

The came in 1620 on the Mayflower and made Plymouth colony in Mass. There were 60 people from one small English town. The Purtains were very strict in their religious practice and didn't allow other religions in their colony. This is the reason they left seeking a place where they could worship without interference.
The Puritans left England in order to worship God in the way they believed was right. They founded three colonies in the New England, Plymouth in 1620 and Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, both located in Massachusetts, and the Connecticut Colony in 1636. Some people say they came because they wanted religious freedom, but that's not really correct, because they believed their way of worship was the only right way and did not allow people who believed something different to worship as they saw fit. The Puritans settled only in the New England region.

He had been persecuted for his faith in England
Many colonies were founded due to people fleeing persecution, however the colonies themselves generally persecuted other faiths themselves while in their new homeland. The Maryland colony was the first to state in law that no one can be persecuted simply because of their religion - this act was however repealed 5 years later.
A royal charter to found a colony was granted to the English Catholic nobleman, Cecil Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore in 1632. The earliest settlers of the Maryland colony included both Catholics and Protestants, but Catholics held the key positions in colony government.
