Religion was the center of Puritan Life.
Explanation:
The title of Puritan comes from the religious desire to live a "pure" life. The Puritans wanted to live lives of moral purity. The lives of the Puritans were defined by religious principles.
The Puritans left England because they were persecuted for their religious beliefs. The Puritans felt it was difficult to live pure lives in the moral atmosphere of England at the time. By leaving England for America the Puritans were able to establish a cultural and moral atmosphere that they felt was conducive to their desire to live a pure life.
