"In 1630, Winthrop arrived at Massachusetts Bay with
2,000 colonists. By the 1640s, more than 16,000 people
had followed the first Massachusetts settlers. In effect,
the population was dense enough to establish a functional
farming economy as well as town governments and
courts that could provide civil order under law."

What religion was Massachusetts?
When the Massachusetts Bay colony was founded, the dominant religion was a Protestant denomination of Christianity called Puritanism. Eventually, other kinds of Protestants came to Massachusetts, and so did Catholics and Jews. Today, greater Boston's dominant religion is Catholicism, but Massachusetts as a state has a large number of Protestants (of all kinds), as well as a sizeable number of Jews. There are also communities of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, and several other faiths.
What group formed the Massachusetts Bay Colony?
The Massachusetts Bay Colony, more formally The Colony of Massachusetts Bay, was an English settlement on the east coast of America around the Massachusetts Bay, the northernmost of the several colonies later reorganized as the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The lands of the settlement were in southern New England, with initial settlements on two natural harbors and surrounding land about 15.4 miles apart—the areas around Salem and Boston, north of the previously established Plymouth Colony.
Dominant religion in Massachusetts?
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.
How did the puritan's try to make their settlement in the Massachusetts Bay colony?
For the Puritans who founded and developed the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1628 onward, the role of religion can hardly be overstated. Their reason for migrating to the New World was essentially religious: they sought to practice their faith without inhibitions or persecution. Hence, upon their arrival, they ordered their society from top to bottom through faith-centric understandings of themselves and of the world.

Why is the Governor fighting President Obama about sending illegal aliens to Massachusetts - Is the Governor a racist?
I am not sure which governor you are asking about, but I live in Massachusetts and we have not been asked to accept any "illegal aliens." There is some evidence that a small group of undocumented immigrants may have been temporarily moved to a facility at Hanscom Field for processing, but this is unverified and the governor of Massachusetts has not made any official comment as a result. There are also some immigrants who were relocated in the western part of the state, and a mayor (the mayor of Springfield) recently spoke out about that; but these were legal immigrants from Somalia, and several church groups helped them to settle in Massachusetts, as well as in Maine and other northern states. At this point, undocumented immigrants are being housed temporarily in holding facilities in border towns (on the Texas/Mexico border, or the Arizona/Mexico border, for example), and some have been sent to California to await processing. As for whether a governor who does not want undocumented immigrants is a racist, I would need more information before I could accurately give an assessment of that governor's history and other remarks he or she might have made.
Why did Massachusetts in 1700 order Roman Catholic Priests to leave the colony?
.Catholic AnswerIt was in the 17th century that the Puritans, out of fear forbid Catholic Priests, from the website "Mass moments" (link below):...in 1647, Massachusetts Bay banned Jesuit priests from the colony on penalty of death. The English Puritans who settled the colony feared the Jesuits for several reasons. First, simply because they were Catholic. To Puritans, Catholicism was nothing less than idolatrous blasphemy, and Catholics were destined for eternal damnation. Second, because the Jesuits were French, and France and England were engaged in a bitter struggle for control of North America. Finally, Jesuit missionaries had converted large numbers of Indians in Canada to Catholicism. Indian converts were potential allies of France and enemies of the English. Although no Jesuit was executed for defying the ban, the legacy of anti-Catholicism in Massachusetts survived for generations.
