The correct answer is A) They were intolerant of other religions and barely tolerated disagreement within their own ranks.
The statement that best describes religious toleration in Puritan communities in the 1600s is "They were intolerant of other religions and barely tolerated disagreement within their own ranks."
The Puritans emigrate to the Americas, escaping from political and religious persecution. They had many differences with the Church of England. The Puritans founded the colony of Plymouth, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 1620.
Once there, they feel free to express their religious beliefs but the showed no tolerance at all. Indeed, they were very intolerant with all beliefs that were not like theirs. They even were intolerant withe the Native American Indians of the Pequot tribe.
