Answer:

he spoke out against religious laws made by the government

Step-by-step explanation:

Spectacular opportunities for religious freedom opened up in the New World when people being persecuted fled England. Roger Williams was the greatest of these pioneers. Overcoming tolerance, he insisted that people should have the freedom to follow their religion according to their conscience. For this reason, he spoke against the religious laws made by the government that prohibited and punished the Indians from following another religion.

Because of his religious freedom policy, Williams was considered a traitor to governments and for that reason he was banned from Massachusetts.
