Introduction
A group of Puritans settling in the New World.
A hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtues, moral
or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that
he or she does not actually possess, especially a person
whose actions
refute stated beliefs.
Throughout history, we had hypocrites who contradicted their beliefs with their
actions. One particular group of hypocrites was the Puritans, who traveled from
Europe to make the perfect society in what is now New England in the 17th Century.
The Puritans had a religious lifestyle devoted to the Bible, but that same lifestyle was a hypocritical one that ultimately led to the decline of their society.
