It is true that they were trying to escape persecution, but are you claiming that the settlers were not Puritans?

Anyhow the funny bit is that they were also being persecuted by christians.

The settlers who landed at Plymouth were not persecuted because they were more progressive in their religon, but rather because they were DIFFERENT and distanced themselves from the commonly accepted brands of christianity in Europe
