It was a primary reason for the colony's establishment.

The Pilgrims (Separatists) left England (and later the Netherlands) to escape religious persecution and sought a place to practice their faith freely, which was the main motive for founding Plymouth. (They sought freedom for their own congregation rather than a modern idea of broad religious pluralism.)
