The statement which best describes the Puritans' attitude towards other religion is this: THEY WERE NOT TOLERANT OF OTHERS. The Puritans were a group of English reformed protestants in the 16th and 17th century who sought to purify the church of England from its catholic practices. The puritans believed that the church of England was corrupt and that true Christians must separate themselves from them. They are very intolerant of other people.
