What factors lead to decline in Puritan faith in New England?
The Puritan's were mainly in the New England colonies so their influence in the rest of the colonies was limited. They did not tolerate different religions and thought they were the "true faith" while others were the work of the devil. The colonies were a variety of cultures and faiths. Colonial America was a melting pot and by 1775 about 6% of the population was German, 7% Scot/Irish and the Welsh, Dutch, Swedes, Jewish, Swiss populations made up about 5% of the colonies. This means there were Catholics, Jewish, and various Protestant religions that made up the colonies. There were two main churches and these were the Anglican and Congregational. The Anglican became the official faith in Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and NY. It served as the major voice of the king. The Congregation church grew out of Puritan and was formally established in all the New England colonies and taxed all residents to support the church.
Puritan New England was very interested in education and stressed the use of the Bible for reading to make good Christians. The first educational laws were passed in the New England colonies.
If there was any one factor that led to any decline it would be the intolerance they had towards other religions and cultures.

The people had begun to hate its disorder and the debt that it caused, so after Cromwell's death they decided to reinstate monarchy.
In New England the Puritans maintained a society government by what type of principles?
The Puritans developed a form of theocracy. They believed that the Church was all important and to follow the belief's of the Puritans, the Church and State (government) should operate as one. Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to “purify” the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshipping without much interference.

How did Roger Williams upset the Puritan leaders?
Roger Williams disagreed with the Puritan government of Massachusetts because he thought they were being intolerant and rigid about religion. Although he was the same religion as they were, he had a very different interpretation: he was what we today would consider liberal or moderate, and he believed in religious freedom. Roger Williams wanted people to have the right to seek God in their own way: he believed Massachusetts should be welcoming to people of all religions, even non-Christians.
He also believed women should have the right to speak in public, and he believed dissenters should not be punished. Further, he believed the native peoples (called Indians back then) were being treated unfairly, and that colonists should not take their land from them. These were not the views the leadership of Massachusetts had, and eventually, they asked him to leave.
