The Puritans believed that following God's exact teachings was what made them great. If one followed the religious beliefs, then they were considered "pure," or a Puritan. Anyone who did not follow God in any way was not "pure" and considered a descendant of Satan. They wanted their lives to be pure, not contaminated.
