Topic > Difference between Martin Luther and ethnocentrism

While the Puritans left their homelands to move away from "indulgence", their attitudes can still be described as ethnocentric, because they did not like and could not tolerate the faith of someone else, they had to make him find a new home and they wanted their own "reform". You could absolutely say that the Puritans felt themselves holier and better than those they were surrounded by in England. Although another event later in history known as the Salem Witch Trials cannot be described as an act of ethnocentrism, it was a circumstance in which someone's religion was not persecuted or judged, but actual individuals were persecuted or judged.
