Modern Puritan

The modern puritan may not be as strict as the traditional puritan but I think that all in all, they still share the same virtues and values when it comes to their beliefs- no matter how diverse. An example of a modern day puritan is the Amish, they share a lot of the same beliefs as the christian puritans in terms of religion and they try to live very similar, wholesome lives, as did the puritans. They live in very subdued little villages in rural parts of the world and they live their lives modestly and humbly. By this, I mean they use no electricity, plumbing or modern day technological commodities. They are agricultural and they do not use processed products for cosmetics or health, they are for the most part, 100% self-sufficient. However, in this fast-paced world, it is impossible to live completely outside of the modern times and so there are some differences, but besides those small differences, they still believe in the puritanical-like life.
