How did the Pennsylvania colony’s treatment of religions differ from that of other colonies?

The colony of Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn, a man who had been persecuted for his religion in England and who had fled to escape that persecution. As a result, he made sure that Pennsylvania was religiously tolerant of people’s beliefs. Unlike other colonies, Pennsylvania had the freedom of religion.
