I don't think it would have. The world evolved around them because other people had more tolerance, or different forms to say the least. They came here for religious freedom, and that's what they focused on. The people that didn't agree went their own way establishing their own things. Mini skirts may have been here a decade earlier, but I think we've managed so far..

America wouldn't have a solid core of Christian fundamentalism, firstly.
Assuming you're just speaking of religiously tolerant, you can look to William Penn's Quaker colony of Pennsylvania which was founded on religious tolerance (Society of Friends, pacificism, etc) for an idea of how a religiously tolerant colony would operate. I think aside from the inherent cultural differences, there would be little change.

Pardon: They wouldn't be Puritans if they were tolerant. They were Puritans because they knew that they were right.

they would have been open enough to accept the surrounding culture and never left for Plymouth Rock
