Since 1641 it embraced the policy of liberty of conscience and religion. The city itself was very diverse in many way, religion included.   The first settlers that came from England arrived on Aquidneck Island. It was in 1636 and was followed by an estonishing women Anne Hutchinson who was basicaly kicked-out of Boston because of her religious beliefs. She had some followers who purchased Aquidneck Island which was later on renamed to Rhode Island.
