Brian, my history came from three unbiased, nonreligious, encyclopedias, that had no particular, or denominational, axe to grind.
If you are talking about Puritans being burned, who burned them. There is no record of this. Some persecution, yes, burning no. The only burning in their history was the burning of innocent women who they decided were witches. Did Jesus, or God, ask for their followers to burn anyone at the stake. NO! Yes, He gave Moses a list of enemies of God to kill, but not burn. Burn their cities and dead bodies, but no one that was still alive. Doing such a thing, is the work of barbarians.
