"forget you heathens, we're going away to mind our own business."  Not even close to the attitude of the puritans. You know all the "witches" put to death across the US and Europe? There's pretty strong evidence that the "devil" they were communing with was just the leader of what ever local (often fertility) cult was in the area. European "witches" were likely the remainder of the ancient Roman cult of Diana. The reaction to heathens was usually "put them to death!"  Not far off from the reactions to "impure" thoughts about sex from certain groups today. Not a  2000  ll what you would traditionally call "religious," either.
