2. How did the religious beliefs of the Puritans differ from those of other English colonists in North America?

Question

A) The Puritans practiced religious tolerance.
B) The Puritans were Catholic; other colonists were Protestant.
C) The Puritans desired an even more reformed version of Protestantism.
D) The Puritans disagreed with the Separatist principles established in Jamestown.

Answer 1

C) The Puritans desired an even more reformed version of Protestantism.

The Puritans sought to "purify" the Church of England from what they viewed as remnants of Catholicism and aimed for a more reformed and strict form of Protestantism. This belief set them apart from other English colonists who might have adhered to different denominations or maintained a more moderate view of Anglicanism.
