CJ, if you want to continue playing your game of selective quoting, that's fine by me. I provided the whole link so that anyone can read the entire story and come to their own conclusions about Puritans and why they came to the New World. Your original post was misleading and inaccurate, and even now you continue to highlight only the facts that suit your anti-religion agenda. Tenchusatsu

Puritan oppression, including torture and imprisonment of many leaders of non-Puritan Christian sects, led to the (voluntary or involuntary) "banishment" of many Christian leaders and their followers from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This negative impact of Puritanism on many new colonists had a positive result on American history in that it led to the founding of many new colonies—Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New Hampshire, and others—as religious havens that were created for devout Christians who wanted to live outside the oppressive reach of Puritan theocracy. And then, the Puritans moved to the South and became Southern Baptists?
