Because god was their only king. They were self-righteous, non-conformists with a hoier than thou attitude. They wanted to stay separate so they (especially their children) wouldn't become infected by the rest of the heathen population.

Why were pilgrams also known as separatists?
The Pilgrims broke away from the Church of England that King Henry instituted. They were persecuted for their beliefs and that they did not attend the Church of England. By the time the Pilgrims broke away from the church, King James was ruling. Some of these "Separatists" went to Holland. They lived there until they felt the Dutch were a bad influence. And again, some of those separatists left for America. These Separatists then made their "pilgrimage" (journey) to America. Today these Puritans/Religious Dessenters/Separatists are called the Pilgrims.
