They did it because of their religious belief. You can read the actual transcripts of court proceeding. All questions were related to devil and their relation with him. Religion played important causal role. | |

The townspeople, Puritans, we swept away by it. It was Christians in the outlying area who stopped it. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 13:43 | comment | added | Jayarathina Madharasan | @Steve : Can you please explain, why you think it doesn't? (After-all it was done in the name of Christian God, it is even called "Puritan inquisition") | |

| Jun 8, 2013 at 11:46 | comment | added | Mike | Although I do not agree with the splicing of words to insulate the office of the Pope from things like the Roman Inquisition, I can skip the context and accept the facts. From that standpoint this is quite a good answer. At least it gives me what I was hoping to learn. It was much later than I would have guessed. | |
