There is no religious diversity in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Everyone is expected to embrace the strict religious beliefs of the Puritans. According to the research, the Massachusetts Bay Colony is a man's world, women do not participate in town meetings and are excluded from decision making in the church. Puritan ministers sermons and writing emphasize male supremacy. Ministers preach that the soul has two parts, the immortal masculine half and the mortal feminine half.
