Religious toleration in Quaker-dominated (in fact, Quaker-founded) Pennsylvania meant that colonists there could practice their religious beliefs according to the dictates of their own consciences without fear of social disapproval or governmental persecution. As a result especially of William Penn's leadership in the colony, persons of diverse nationalities and religious faiths flocked to Pennsylvania in the late 1600s and early 1700s.

It meant that different religions could meet up in that area. No one had to worry about religious persecution while there.
