What did the puritans mainly worship?

My understanding of the Puritans is that they were different from other Christians only by the way they lived. They worshipped God, the Holy Trinity, the Christian God, just the way the other Christian immigrants did. But the Puritans lived a "pure" life, and conducted themselves with much more discipline than the others.

One of my favorite reference books (and dictionary) is "The New Britannica/Webster Dictionary & Reference Guide" (by Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., 1981. Some day I will buy the newest version.) This dictionary gives pretty good explanations of things, Words, people, places, etc.

I looked Puritan up in that dictionary, and their definition is: A Protestant group who oppose as unscriptural many traditional customs of the Church of England. They follow a stricter moral code than that which prevails in the other church." The Word Puritan is from the Latin "puritas," or purity.

I also looked up the Word Pilgrim: "One who travels in foreign lands; one who travels to a shrine or holy place as a devotee; one of the English colonists founding the first permanent settlement in New England at Plymouth in 1620."

So, the Puritans were a group of pilgrims who left the Church of England, and they immigrated to America. They found new homes and established their own community, where their strict moral values would be the norm. The Amish communities in America are a bit like the Puritan communities. The Amish do not allow other life-styles in their community; everyone in their village has the same beliefs and moral standards.

The Puritans were part of the Protestant movement in Europe, and they were Christians.
