False

Despite fleeing England in search of religious freedom and to escape persecution, Puritans punished, imprisoned and banished those with divergent religious views. Catholics, Anglicans, Quakers, and Baptists had no rights in Puritan New England. For instance, Anne Hutchinson's was convicted of blasphemy and expelled her from the colony for claiming that she had experienced a revelation from God.
