    Roger Williams of Rhode Island and William Penn ensured the protection of religious minorities within their colonies from the beginning but others had established churches (Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony).

    Didn't Roger Williams leave Massachusetts because of religious oppression? Isn't that why he founded RI on the principle of state neutrality in matters of faith?

    He didn't want the state to dictate the religion you had to belong to
