Two, those we call Pilgrims may have come to escape religious intolerance, but they were not for religious freedom (unless it meant their religion). The same can be said for every colony with a religious background that was founded, except for Pennsylvania. But even there, there was some religious intolerance for those denominations not deemed to be worthy enough to be there.

Actually, they first went to Holland, where they did escape religious persecution.  They went to America because life in Holland was just too damn hard.
