Plymouth was named after the town in England the Pilgrams left. They came to America to escape people who were telling them they could not worship the way they wanted to.

Are you kidding? The 3 reasons for European colonialism was Land, Riches, and Religion. America is a great example.
Every "mission" that was founded by the Spanish (ie Santa Fe, Santa Fe de Bogota, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, on and on and on....), the French (New Orleans, St Louis....), even the English that came to this country for religious freedom founded their settlements on religious grounds.

Plymouth Rock, circa 1620 A.D. Some pilgrims from England thought Christianity could flourish there. Some 230 years later in the United States of America, it seems these people still have some supporters.

In PA close to the poconos, I know there is a place called Nazereth, and anything with a "St" in it (i.e. St. lewis) literally means that it was named after a Christian saint.
