Question: Religion in mid 17th century england (1660's AD)!?

Hey, i have been crawling through the net in what seems to be a completely vain attempt at finding out what religion was dominant in the 1660's!. so far i know that puritan belief had been somewhat abolished, but what took its place!? a christian belief of some sort, but what!?
also, if anyone finds out, could you please link me to the source you got it from!? that would be much appreciated, thanksWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think it was protestantism!. Henry the VIII's reign saw a reduction in Catholics and he also established the Church of England!.!.!. um but I'm not a historian so I'm not sure!. Look up Protestantism for help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It was Anglicanism, the national Protestant Church with the monarch as the head of the Church!. The Puritans were very unpopular at this point as they were driven to take all the fun out of life - no dancing, no gambling, no horse racing, no days off from work except for Sunday, and so on!. They also insisted they were holier than everybody else, which still irks the hell out of most people!.
The only place Puritans were popular was here in Massachusetts, much to the detriment of our state and the rest of the country!. The Calvinist theology underlying Puritan beliefs held that humans are fundamentally wicked and corrupt, and that they must be punished for every major or minor lapse in morality!. We still suffer from this Puritan hangover today in the US!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
