New Hampshire's early colonists, primarily Puritans, exhibited limited religious tolerance, primarily promoting their own Protestant beliefs. However, as the colony developed, there was a gradual acceptance of other faiths, including Quakers and Catholics, though this was often met with resistance. By the 18th century, New Hampshire had become more inclusive, reflecting broader trends of religious pluralism in New England. Nonetheless, the degree of tolerance varied throughout the colony's early history.
