Religion played a central role in shaping the social hierarchies of colonial society. The Puritans in New England, for example, established a theocratic society where church membership was a prerequisite for political participation. Religious leaders often held significant power and influence, and religious conformity was enforced through laws and social norms. In the Southern colonies, the Anglican Church was dominant, and religious affiliation often correlated with social status and land ownership.
