The historical term "puritan" is used to refer to movement of English [[Protestants]] that were seeking further reforms and separation from the established church following the [[Reformation]] in England in the 16th and 17th century. Today, the word puritan is sometimes used in a derogeratory sense to suggest someone is overwhelmed with a legalistic and rule-oriented religious mindset that kills joy and happiness.
