To add to this, Christian communities kick out those that "appear" to be "ungodly" regardless of if God actually saved someone, of which God doesn't say so except for a few special instances but generally speaking no mortal can know who's saved according to Christianity but the fact of the matter is, there has always been controversy as to trying to determine who's lying and who's not, who hates who and who's trying to get rid of why and for what reason. The Salem Witch Trials is partly due to food poisoning from bad rye crops that causes epileptic symptoms, but there were also some African hoodoo influences and deception going on from people that's taking the opportunity to blame others for being a witch so it's a myriad of factors beyond so called magic (the only magic that's real is deception, all else are illusions, falsehoods). The rise of secularism within the colonies was an inevitable outcome as an alternative option against religious speculations, but the means to it is a materialistic cult.
