The Puritans were very religious. They believed that God chose them and had formed a special bond with them.

"These were Christians who wanted the Church of England purified of any liturgy, ceremony, or practices which were not found in Scripture. The Bible was their sole authority, and with these beliefs, they believed it applied to every area and level of life."
