It would be a because i had the same question
(Take this response with a grain of salt.)
I personally think that neither should determine that. Both questions are unable to determine whether the religion is true; so why would it be used to determine whether or not people have the right to follow it. However, putting that aside, I think the best answer would be how good their followers are. It doesn't determine whether the religion is true or not but it rids us of the toxic religions that spread negative messages. Considering how much racism, homophobia, transphobia, and sexism is in most religions it'd be interesting to see most religions cease.
Including commonly followed religions like Catholicism.
Both groups believed in a personal experience of God and his power. However, Puritans had ministers in their churches while Quakers did not. Penn desired to gain respect and friendship and paid Native Americans for land. Puritans, on the other hand, despised them and had no will to communicate with them.
