Are there any puritans alive today?

While there are no groups that strictly identify as Puritans in the historical sense, elements of Puritan ideology can still be seen in some modern religious and cultural groups. Many contemporary Protestant denominations, particularly in New England, may carry forward Puritan values such as a focus on piety, moral rigor, and community responsibility. However, the term "Puritan" itself refers to a specific 16th and 17th-century movement, and its adherents as a distinct group no longer exist today.
