Then why is there an issue between the King James instead of the Geneva Bible? The Puritans wouldn't acknowdge the King James Bible.
They were a persecuted people, remember? I believe before they came to the new country they were trying to get from England from the Dutch land ships. They were considered trouble makers and came to American countrys in ships with thieves. They went against the King and his new bible. They were hunted down and troublesome In England. I do believe they are now know as the Calvinists. They were considered a cult at the time.

well you see my dear watson its elementary. they discovered the magical crack fairy, who produced crack cocaine. once they had smoked a whole bunch, they decided they didnt need england as it was filled with many people who hated the crack fairy for bringing enjoyment to the land. and so they built the mayflower and took the magical crack fairy with them. this is the story of America
Basically, the Puritans wanted to purify the Anglican church from what they saw as unbiblical teachings and corruption (such as using a prayer book). The Pilgrims wanted to purify the Puritans from what they saw as unbiblical teachings and corruption. However, the Pilgrims were like, "Wtf, we can't fight the Church in England, so let's go found a new country." And thus America was born.

The puritains were quite well off and left of their own volition not by sneaking onto ships (though there was certaily some prodding to leave both times). They wanted to reform the Church of England and when they discovered that they couldn't do that from within England they decided to create a perfect "city on a hill" that would prove how awesome Puritanism was.
They weren't exactly hunted down, but the Church did try to supress active Puritan churches. I almost certain they weren't considered a cult.
Do Calvinists still exist?
