But one thing is clear. The colonies were never theocratic, not even Massuchusetts, the most restrictive colony in religious affairs, and the colonies served as great experiments to put Christian Anabaptist theology into practice in mandating religious freedoms.

So, Boston and Salem, Mass. were never theocratic?

Ok, so let me get this straight. They exhibited everything that you'd expect in a theocracy but they were not a theocracy? They even executed people based on religious beliefs, but they were not a theocracy?
