Answer:

Did the Puritan society believe in the separation of Church and State?

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the Puritans wanted to reform the world to conform to God's law, they did not set up a church-run state. Even though they believed that the primary purpose of government was to punish breaches of God's laws, few people were as committed as the Puritans to the separation of church and state.
