One example of a colony where religious reasons were less important in explaining its founding is the New Netherland colony. The primary motivation behind the establishment of New Netherland was economic gain and the fur trade, rather than religious freedom or a mission to spread a particular faith.

Another major reason was that this colony could act as a buffer between the other US colonies and the Spanish territories further south.
