Did the Pilgrims or puritans want freedom of religion?

The Pilgrims sought freedom of religion as they were Separatists who wanted to break away from the Church of England and practice their faith independently. In contrast, the Puritans aimed to purify the Church of England from within rather than separate from it, but they also desired to establish a society based on their religious beliefs. While both groups valued religious principles, their approaches to achieving religious freedom differed significantly. Ultimately, both contributed to the broader quest for religious liberty in America.
