What was the religion of Oliver Cromwell?

Answer 1

Oliver Cromwell was a Puritan, and his army was called the New Model Army. Opinions are divided as to whether he was a hero or a genocidal dictator.

The Irish in particular hated him as he brutally subjugated the Irish people and forbid them to practice their Catholic religion.

Some believe that he was a hero for ending the institution of absolute monarchy and promoted tolerance in religion (apparently excepting Catholics). He felt that God was guiding his military and political actions.
