Which description of the puritans is false? they were tolerant of all religions. they settled in massachusetts bay. they valued education. they were hardworking.

“They were tolerant of all religions” is a false statement about the Puritans. The Puritans were an extreme sect of Protestantism that wanted to “purify” the Church of England, and they were very strict about their religious values.

They did in fact form a colony in the Massachusetts Bay where there was no separation between church and state; the religious laws were the governmental laws.

They did value education, as demonstrated by the many institutes of higher learning that were founded by the Puritans.

Finally, the “Protestant work ethic” was adopted by the Puritans; they believed they were showing God their love through their works.

I hope this helps!
