The colonists in America had varying approaches to religion. Some colonies, like Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, practiced religious tolerance and allowed freedom of worship. However, other colonies, such as Massachusetts Bay Colony, were less tolerant and persecuted individuals with different religious beliefs, such as the Puritans' treatment of Quakers.

Why do religions persecute one another?

In most modern societies, persecution based on religion is seen as anything from a minor to major human rights abuse. Many religious people see other religions as a threat to them, or as false. In many cases religious people actually believe they are helping others to move away from what they consider to false beliefs. There are many reasons for why this sort of persecution has taken place in the past, but most boil down to fear that one idea will overshadow or threaten another in some way.

Why are Christians so anal about any religious theory that isn't what a man on a pedestal reads them. They all force religion as well?

As a Christian, you believe in Christianity (obviously) which means that you do not follow other religions. So obviously, as a central philosophy, you are inclined to take it seriously and not sway with it. Christians aren't always "anal" about other religions and will tolerate other religions in nearly all cases, but they still will hold Christianity as their core belief.

If the Romans were tolerant of all religions why then did they persecute the Christians?

If the Romans persecuted Christians, then they weren't tolerant of all religions! The Roman policy during the development of the empire was to tolerate the religion of the subjugated peoples and to avoid giving offense where possible. Christianity became a notable exception to this policy for a number of reasons.Firstly, the Christians would not bow to the state-sanctioned gods and importantly they would not worship the emperor. Secondly, the Christians would not then attend the state-sanctioned feasts to the gods which they regarded as idolatrous. For these and other reasons they were regarded with suspicion and possibly as being subversive to the state although they were otherwise good citizens. Thus, the policy regarding 'religious tolerance' changed since this particular religion was also becoming more widespread and was also seen somewhat differently from other religions which were more inclusive.
