Very strict English Protestants were commonly referred to as Puritans. They sought to "purify" the Church of England from practices they viewed as remnants of Catholicism. Puritans emphasized a more personal and direct relationship with God, advocating for simplicity in worship and strict moral codes. Their beliefs and practices significantly influenced religious and cultural developments in England and the American colonies.
