How were the religious beliefs of many people living in the new England colonies different from those people living in the southern colonies?

New England was more democratic, but with a heavy influence from the churches. They had a theocracy in place giving more freedom than the south, but the churches were involved in governing the colonies. Politically the Southern Territories were not entirely democratic.
