He was a very famous politically active and religious leader. He worked upon separation of state and church. He fought for the religious freedom movement in the 1600s in America. He was a protestant and converted to Christian. The Anglicism was very dominant in England during the time of 1600s. Initially, he entered into the church as an Anglican but later on he was more tilted towards puritans. Puritans were those people who have stricter ideology on faith and morality.

This growing distance drove them to found new islands i.e. British colonies in North America. William followed three tenants. He wanted to separate church and state because he saw corruption. He believed in the freedom of religion. He also wanted the government to be out from church affairs. The British authorities convicted Williams of sedition case.
