ReligionAlthough the English left to establish more freedom of religion - think the Pilgrims.The Dutch were fleeing religious tolerance and the allowance of the Dutch reformed Church vs, the Christian reformed Church which was more strict.

Prof. Cristobal Welch · Answer

The English and the Dutch were interested in the New World because they both wanted freedom of religion. The Pilgrims who came over from England came because they were being prosecuted for their religion. The Strangers, who were Dutch people coming over with the Pilgrims, were actually English people who had been kicked out of England because of their religions and moved to the Netherlands. Hope this helps!
