Yes, I am sure. Roger Williams founded Rhode Island in 1636 after being expelled from Massachusetts due to his beliefs in religious freedom and the separation of church and state. He advocated for the right to practice any religion, which contrasted with the strict Puritan beliefs held in Massachusetts at the time. This commitment to religious tolerance was a fundamental reason for the establishment of the colony.
