Syncretic beliefs section

@GoutComplex has added the following paragraph that describes Roger Williams blending Native American religious ideas with Puritanism. The only problem is that none of the sources cited actually make that claim. They speak of Williams having respect for Native Americans and observing that they had morality, but there is nothing in the sources indicating that he adopted any of their religious beliefs.

Are you talking about Prohibition in the United States? While there was a religious motivation behind the policy, the driving force was the temperance movement in the United States. Adherents thought that prohibition would reduce or eliminate domestic violence. Dimadick (talk) 08:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Puritans as a distinct denomination ceased to exist in the early 1800s. Their successors are the Congregationalist.
Prohibition has nothing to do with Puritans. In fact many supporters of prohibition were feminists (suffragettes).
For revisionists Puritans are seen as villainous because of witch burnings, native American genocide and supposed prudishness. As a result modern Americans will claim such-and-such a problem in modern society is because of the Curtains. 2603:8001:7A00:B96A:C41A:FB9F:32B0:606E (talk) 21:33, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
