Primarily Pilgrims were in Plymouth (Massachusetts), but the Puritans got the charter for Massachusetts Bay Colony. Philadelphia was a secular colony established by a Quaker, but that isn't quite New England. Providence (Rhode island) Colony was established by a Baptist, Roger Williams after the Puritans gave him the boot from Salem. Connecticut Colony was started by Puritan Thomas Hooker.
It was established as a buffer colony.
The Puritans founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony before Roger Williams founded Providence, Rhode Island. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was established in 1630 by Puritan settlers, led by John Winthrop, while Roger Williams founded Providence in 1636 after being banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony due to his religious beliefs. Williams founded Providence as a haven for religious freedom and tolerance, in contrast to the strict religious orthodoxy of the Puritans in Massachusetts.

They are the same. The Puritans got permission from King Charles 1 to build a colony which they named "Massachusetts Bay". This remained the full name throughout the colonial period, but the word "Bay" dropped in common parlance. As a result, when Massachusetts Bay Colony became the State of Massachusetts, "Bay" was dropped altogether.
The colony of Providence was founded by Roger Williams in 1636. He established it as a refuge for those seeking religious freedom and tolerance, particularly for dissenters from the Puritan beliefs dominant in Massachusetts Bay Colony. Williams advocated for the separation of church and state, making Providence a significant early example of religious liberty in America.
