Puritans did not separate from the Anglican Church, they wanted to stay and "purify" it of the Roman Catholic beliefs that remained after the Reformation. Pilgrims believed that England shouldn't have a church who's ideals switched with every new king. They wanted to separate from the church and be free to practice their own interpretations of The Bible. Hence the name "Separatists."

Why did the COGIC split from AG church?
The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) split from the Assemblies of God (AG) in 1914 due to theological differences, particularly regarding the doctrine of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. COGIC adherents believed in the necessity of speaking in tongues as evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit, while AG did not require this as a sign of baptism. This theological discrepancy led to the formation of COGIC as a separate denomination emphasizing Pentecostal practices.
What is the difference between the roman catholic church and the ELCA church?
There are a number of differences between the two. The ELCA is Protestant, which stemmed from the Reformation and Martin Luther. Luther, a Catholic clergyman, did not agree with some of the practices of the Catholic Church, so he wrote his 95 Theses. Some of the most notable things that he disagreed with were the selling of indulgences and the concept of paying to get somebody out of purgatory. Luther believed that we are saved by grace alone, and no worldy act is good enough to equal the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made by dying for us on the cross. The ELCA does not worship saints while the Roman Catholics do, Lutheran pastors are allowed to marry, women are allowed to be pastors, and the ELCA does not restrict anyone from taking holy communion.
What are the traditions of the Protestant Church?
Protestant is not a religion. It is a category of religions.

They do hold on to a lot of the Catholic beliefs, traditions, and ceremonies, though.
