Puritan is a term that has its initiation in English, which is puritan and is usually used to refer to people who were part of Puritanism. The Puritanism was a revolutionary movement that was born in England during the sixteenth century in the period of office of the Queen Elizabeth. The Church of England was born when it separated from the Roman Catholic Church during the term of King Henry VIII, at that time England began to integrate into a new religion or church which was Anglicanism (Christianity).
The Puritanism was radical protest and firm which arises because those belonging to the Church of England felt that there were still traces of the Catholic Church in their beliefs and customs, so this movement was against both the Catholic Church and the Anglican church. They were persecuted by the government, which led many of them to leave England seeking freedom to choose the religion to which they belong. Their dogma was that their supreme authority was God, they should study the bible for themselves, they did not worshipimages or celebrated traditional festivities, among others.
Today the word puritan is used in common language to refer to a person who is faithful to the moral laws imposed by society, is respectful towards them and his life is based on propagating such norms and can reach such a point that even exaggeration becomes part of his work to spread and use them in his life.
