Question

On what was the idea of religious toleration narrowly focused

Answer 1

Religious toleration narrowly focused on Christianity. As a consequence, in most colonies Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and other non- Christian religious groups constituted a vast minority. Thus, Christianity was tolerated and in spite of the fact that puritans did not tolerate differences, there were colonies for Protestants and Catholics as well. I addition to this, that narrow toleration was claimed to be broader.
