It depends on which time period you are asking about. In the early days of the Massachusetts Bay colony, the Puritans (a kind of conservative Protestant religion) were the dominant religion, and all others were discouraged. But these days, there is a lot of religious diversity in the state. Over all, Massachusetts still has a Protestant majority, but there are a wide range of denominations from Episcopalians to Baptists to Mormons to Unitarian/Universalists. Boston is majority Catholic, but numerous other religions call that city home. (There are a large number of Catholics in Quincy, Springfield and Lawrence.) Many Jewish people live in Newton, Sharon and Brookline; there are several Hindu temples, including one in Framingham; several Muslim mosques can be found throughout the state, including in Quincy, and in the Roxbury/Dorchester section of Boston; there is a Sikh community in Millis; and there are a number of Buddhists who live in the Lowell area, as well as in parts of greater Boston.
