New Jersey original planned to have religious freedom, but as a royal colony its religion was to be Anglican and religious freedom wouldn't be possible.
What caused people to leave the Massachusetts Bay Colony is that church leaders or ministers did not take ideas from their own. Some were forced out of Massachusetts.
Thomas Hooker lead a group of Puritans out of the Massachusets Bay Colony to Connecticut in order to gain religious freedom and trading opportunities. There were 100 men and women and 130 cattle. Thomas Hooker ALSO founded Hartford and got his colony growing because of his religious freedom ideas.
People who spread religious ideas are called missionaries.
The Rhode Island colony started because Roger Williams had religious ideas and then had to leave Massachusetts others liked his ideas. So they were traveling and soon found providence which became Rhode Islands capital. Soon other people started to find about Rhode island and moved there.
One notable enemy of John Winthrop was Roger Williams, a Puritan minister who advocated for religious freedom and the separation of church and state. Williams' views led to his banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636, as Winthrop and other leaders saw his ideas as a threat to their religious authority and the unity of the colony. Williams went on to found the colony of Rhode Island, which became a refuge for those seeking religious liberty.
