The role of religion in the Massachusetts colony had a dual purpose. While religion kept a system of strong beliefs in place, it also served as the foundation for their legal system and law making.

How did religion help Massachusetts bay colony grow?

Religion played a pivotal role in the growth of the Massachusetts Bay Colony by attracting Puritans seeking a community where they could practice their faith freely. The colony's leaders emphasized creating a "city upon a hill," which fostered a sense of purpose and moral responsibility among settlers. This strong religious foundation encouraged social cohesion and a commitment to communal values, facilitating cooperation in agriculture, trade, and governance. As a result, the colony thrived both economically and socially, becoming a significant center of Puritanism in New England.
