By the late 1600s, the colonists in New York and New Jersey were "religiously diverse", since by this time there had been numerous waves of immigration from Europe.

Answer: religiously diverse.

During the early years of settlement in the United States, most immigrants were protestants from Europe who faced persecution in their home countries, in particular Puritans and Quakers. However, by the late 1600s, other groups had arrived, such as Anglicans, Lutherans and Catholics. This meant that the population became more religiously diverse.
