Popular teaching, aka what you learned in grade school, states that the Pilgrims came for religious freedom. Wrong! Only around 40 of the 102 pilgrims were going for religion. The other 62 went in order to such for gold, adventure or for land. And if the majority went for those reasons, those are the reasons for the pilgrims going to America.

The Pilgrims (or Separatists) left Europe because they believed that the reforms of the Anglican church had not gone far enough. In order to be rightful interpreters of The Bible independent of an inherited social and cultural order, the Pilgrims knew they had to leave England and separate themselves from the Anglican church. They first moved to Holland. After 12 years of a hard life in Holland, the Pilgrims decided to move again. They hoped to find a "better and easier place of living", to propagate and advance the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in remote parts of the world, and to be left alone to live in their own pure and righteous way. They also knew that Holland's truce with Catholic Spain was near its end and the Pilgrims would have been wiped out if Spain took control of Holland.
