I think those coming to the new world tried harder to get here. They wanted to be able to pray or worship whoever they wanted. This was just one of the main reasons to come to the new world.

I agree OB it was hard to become free to worship who you like too worship

I believe it motivated those who came here because they had the option to choose their own religion. This would've cause pros and cons in this situation. There are pros because they could pick their own religion to live from. There are also cons because it would cause religious wars against different religions against one another.
MollieT

I agree with your point. Religious wars were probably common and very dangerous.
LisaT
9/9/2013 09:50:55 am
I totally agree with your answer because I also think there are pros and cons to this topic. And I think it is really important to chose if you are holy or not.
RyanO

I agree with everything you say. I don't know why all the countries did not have religious freedom. I also don't know why everyone had to fight over which religion to choose.
HenriqueP
9/10/2013 09:25:32 am
I agree with you. But I still don't understand why people fight against each other, because they have religious FREEDOM so they have to think a little before fighting, if they have freedom to choose their religion why fight?
TerryH
9/15/2013 06:17:02 am
They fought then for the same reason we fight now,they wanted people to agree with their ideals. They were willing to use whatever amount of force necessary to get people to agree with them war included.
KristynS
9/14/2013 12:16:28 am
I totally agree with you on that.
BrittanyC
9/15/2013 08:13:15 am
i completely agree with you!!
ElizabethQ

I believe they were motivated to start a new life religiously in the New World. To escape religious persecution they had back at the Church of England. But I feel some only wanted religious freedom for themselves.
MollieT
9/9/2013 09:15:12 am
I think that's a good point. If I were them, I would be looking for how it was going to effect me and my beliefs, not any one else's.
TreyW
9/15/2013 08:24:46 am
I definitely feel the same. People were still getting persecuted in the new world for not believing in what their fellow colonists believed in.
RyanO
9/8/2013 04:09:05 am
I believe they were motivated because they could pick whatever religion they wanted. Back in their country they might not of had that freedom. I also think that many people fought over which religion to choose.
MichaelP
9/9/2013 01:43:27 am
Everyone should be motivated based on religion. I hate that some countries did not have freedom. Its good that we do now.
KameronM
9/9/2013 01:47:15 am
Religion has been the cause of many wars.
RomanH
9/9/2013 01:49:02 am
I agree with you, there have been many wars over religion throughout history and coming to the new world was their chance to get away from all the negativity towards their religion in their countries
RileyM
9/9/2013 01:50:16 am
Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. I think a lot of people fought over it.
TerryH
9/15/2013 06:20:51 am
People will continue to fight over their beliefs until the end of time.
ThapaneeJ
9/8/2013 09:40:25 am
I believe that because the religious freedom in the New World was new to the people at that time, some people then found it interesting and decided to move to there. As they did not like to be told to do this and that, they would probably find this good oppotunity to learn new religion and to choose in which they would like to believe or to choose none.
KameronM
9/9/2013 01:45:47 am
We have the freedom to pick what religion we want. That lets us have diffrent life styles.
HenriqueP
9/10/2013 09:32:41 am
Yes thats is really true, if we have all the same life style, what would be the good part about that? There would'nt be new ideias and the world wouldn't change.
KarlyS
9/15/2013 02:47:15 am
That is very true, the world would be very boring if everyone followed the same religion!
RomanH
9/9/2013 01:46:25 am
I believe the lives of those coming to the new world was motivated by the fact that they could worship freely and have their own set of beliefs without persecution.
KloeG
9/15/2013 08:33:31 am
I agree with you on that.
PaytonH
9/15/2013 09:13:45 am
This is very true and yes they can finally worship on their own beliefs
Michael P
9/15/2013 10:39:27 am
Most of them were scared of persecution to the fullest. But those who believed in themselves reaped the reward
RileyM
9/9/2013 01:46:51 am
I think that religious freedom was a big thing to look forward to coming to the new world. Back in their country they had to do what the king said and be whatever religion he said. In the new world you could be whatever religion you wanted to and did not have to listen to the king all the time.
DanielleV
9/9/2013 09:56:57 pm
I agree. The King was a big bully!
KloeG
9/15/2013 08:34:53 am
I agree with you.
MichaelP
9/9/2013 01:48:36 am
Religious freedom gave everyone the opportunity for a fresh start. It gave everyone a chance to choose a religion that they feel most comfortable with. Everyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime.
DanielleV
9/9/2013 09:54:58 pm
I agree. Everyone was excited to come to the new world for many opportunities, freedom of religion was just a main one.
RileyM
9/10/2013 02:04:38 am
I agree with my boy Michael I think that everyone should have a choice on what religion they're most comfortable with.
MollieT
9/9/2013 09:14:11 am
Many had come to the New World to have their own say in religion. Although there were probably many brawls, I think that mostly they came here for more tolerance toward religion and being granted the choice on choosing from a wide range of religions to believe in.
RyanO
9/9/2013 11:34:12 am
I agree with there were probably many brawls. I don't know why people had to fight over religion. They should of just worried about themselves.
ElizabethQ
9/9/2013 12:46:23 pm
Exactly!
KarlyS
9/15/2013 02:42:10 am
I completely agree with Mollie. I believe there were probably many fights because the people were so used to the government saying that their religion was wrong so when others chose a religion different than their own they felt that those people were also saying that their religion was wrong.
LisaT
9/9/2013 09:44:37 am
I feel that they understood that they have a change of life and a new start. They thought that the life would be better. The freedom to chose religion helped them.
KristynS
9/14/2013 12:10:44 am
I agree with that.
DanielleV
9/9/2013 09:51:40 pm
I believe it motivated them more to come to the new world. They were able to choose what religion they wanted, unlike before. I think it helped them become more confident in who they were.
PaytonH
9/15/2013 09:11:39 am
This is true and it couldn't have been said any better.
LaceyM
9/15/2013 12:51:02 pm
This is exactly what I think.
HenriqueP
9/10/2013 09:27:41 am
i think the religious freedom motivated people to come to the new world so they can be whatever they want to. They don't have to follow what they think that is wrong.
MirandaM
9/14/2013 02:06:47 pm
That's a good point not many people have made. It wasn't just for their freedom to practice religion they came here. It was to get away from the 'wrong' religions of Europe. And to spread the knowledge of the 'correct' religion, whichever they were preaching at the time, to the savages. I also think the "whatever they want to" was a really good point. Because these religious pilgrims end up setting of societies entirely run by their people they could make whatever they wanted to happen in the government.
KristynS
9/14/2013 12:09:13 am
I believe it motivated them to move because they would be able to start a new life, and get to choose a religion to follow that actually made them happy. Before they moved, they had to follow a certain religion, and that made them very unhappy.
KristenG
9/14/2013 11:08:09 am
Exactly.
BrittanyC
9/15/2013 08:17:19 am
i agree with you on this as well
LindseyW
9/15/2013 11:12:10 am
I agree. A forced religion wouldn't make anyone happy.
KristenG
9/14/2013 11:06:53 am
They wanted to be able to believe in who they wanted to believe in without having to worry about getting into trouble.
MirandaM
9/14/2013 02:13:01 pm
It's a little sad to know that they still get 'in trouble' for what they believe in while here. People that don't conform with the ideals and beliefs of the town they live in are still outsiders. Maybe not as harshly punished, but if you didn't attend church on Sunday, there were issues.
TreyW
9/15/2013 07:54:34 am
I agree. That is the one thing that I never understood about religion. It was OK for people to worship in a way that they despised or worship something that they didn't believe in, but the moment they missed church on Sunday everyone had a problem with them.
MirandaM
9/14/2013 02:00:41 pm
I think people came to the New World to get away from tyranny of the European government. I believe religion, while a big part of their lives, was just something that they clung to for strength to help them through the hardships they would face. It became a pillar in their society because it was one thing that they could cling to, that everyone could believe in.
KarlyS
9/15/2013 02:32:42 am
I believe that religious freedom motivated people to come to the new world because they wanted to believe in what they wanted to believe in and not be forced to believe what the government said they should.
TerryH
9/15/2013 06:09:04 am
I believe it probably motivated them due to the fact that it is human nature to want to do something your own way. So it was natural for the settlers to be motivated by religous freedom because they would have more of a say in what they believe in.
TreyW
9/15/2013 07:39:52 am
Religious freedom was one of the primary reasons that many people went to the new world. They wanted the freedom to worship what they wanted as well as worshiping the way they wanted to without being persecuted in Europe.
BrittanyC
9/15/2013 08:16:53 am
I believe it motivated the people coming over to the new world because they wanted to believe in something of their choice and not what everyone else wanted them to believe in.
PaytonH
9/15/2013 09:10:39 am
It helped them by believing they had a path to follow to get here. Everything they did was for a reason and religious was one reason people made it so far. Some people may not have made it, but if it wasn't for them coming to the new world we wouldn't be here today.
LaceyM
9/15/2013 12:50:03 pm
I totally agree with you. Without them we wouldn't be able to believe in what we wanted
LindseyW
9/15/2013 11:10:33 am
I think religious freedom motivated those coming to the new world. They all hated the restrictions under the Anglican Church. They wanted the freedom to worship in their own way.
LaceyM
9/15/2013 12:48:50 pm
In the New World, they could believe in anything they wanted. I think they probably wanted to hurry up and get to the New World just so they could worship whoever they wanted. They were ready to believe in whatever they wanted. This leads up to today. Religion today, is what we want to believe in and nobody can tell us different.
EthanK
9/15/2013 02:40:04 pm
I think it gave people not just freedom from religion but life. As in life like the country's they came from and the leaders that ran it. This gave motive to leave and become free, free from religious views and life. Being a religious person I thinks its amazing seeing people leave everything behind to practice there religious views.
PrestonW
9/16/2013 09:27:48 am
It gave them the determination to establish their own means of religion ad go about it in their own ways. It gave them a new sense of belonging and a new freedom they didn't have.
ShaunaJ
9/25/2013 01:08:01 am
I believe that religious freedom motivated people to believe anything they wanted to believe, and that they have to right to do that. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
