they were the group that gave the puritans the finger, resorting to a more negotiable approach as to what Gd and Christ symbolize for believers, not the restrictive cruelty pushed by a branch of the religion that did hang people...mr. fox was ahead of his time.
the puritans were some crazy scary people! but they did produce nathanial hawthorne, so their nastiness yielded some good results. i'd say protestants are on the list of favorites, but they ended up as nasty a group as the roman catholic church that they took a stand against, but at least they got back to the bible and away from the idols.
