The Puritan America was beyond odds as a nation at the point it was established. It was an impressive thing that every other exile melted to a new nationality. However the puritan protestanism as a religious group had tremendous effects on the American people. These people were known with their zealotry actually, ther were devoutly bounded to their prayers and they wanted to purify the animal side inside every person.
A question that comes into my mind is, do people deserve a purifying, only for they are not from someone’s belief. It is just an extremist thought and that is what should be purified. People need to live their own beliefs freely and without boundaries.
As we can see in the story, the extreme good turns into the most evil. The prayes and the zealous sermons became dark rituals and demonic speech. This can represent the thin line between devoutness and wickedness in my opinion
The religion is open to many comments, but one thing is, as we see from the contemporary situation, if the religion is misused by some power focuses, it can create masses that are ready to fight, kill and die, in the name of God, Allah and Jehovah.
