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.
