Answer 2

The southern colonies (Maryland, Virginia and further south) were founded for economic reasons. Massachuset, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania were definitely for religious reasons. New Amsterdam (New York) was not an English colony to begin with.

Well, the more central and western states were more religious, since southern colonies began harvesting and growing crops, and the north was used for lumber.
